about

Developed out of an unfinished song fragment that emerged during a standard ICS day session. Developed using The Back Burner Game, wherein the participant works on a song over time strictly mentally, without touching any instruments or playing any part of the song out loud. Vocals recorded by ND at Polymorph Recording. Mixed by Mark Stichman.

lyrics

"Lay awake and wondering are you cool or warm?
Inhabiting the maddening quiet, hoping for the storm.

But when those feelings aren’t returned,
From one small notion bigger bridges bloom and burn.
How will I look into my own face?
How will I stand the company of just me?

I feel that way a bit today. Sobered by you and I.
Where were you? (no one sees someone) Look at me,
All dressed up (someone needs no one) nowhere to be.

Life keeps happening by itself, forgetting where things go.
With my own eyes is where i learned what I still don’t know.

So don’t just say it for effect, and I won’t pretend to expect the truth.
So stroke my arm and snap by neck. Just show me that I was correct,
And I’ll go.

Only know (no one needs someone) what I feel,
And fantasy (someone sees no one) is not real.
Won’t give what (no one sees someone) can’t be retrieved,
Now that I (someone needs no one) don’t believe.
Memory (no one needs someone) is a sieve.
With strange eons (someone sees no one) life may live

Wide open, in freedom see, a world without you and me."
