about

recorded and mixed over the weekend of 8/4 just cause this song has been stuck in my head for over a month. i recently heard the original by LA band Ednaswap and my appreciation for the song grew exponentially.

lyrics

thought i saw someone brought to life.
they were warm, they came around like they were dignified
and showed me what it was to cry.
well you couldn't be the person i adored.
you don't seem to know, don't seem to care
what your heart is for.
i don't know 'em anymore.

there's nothin' where we used to lie.
conversation has run dry.
that's what's going on;
nothing's fine, i'm torn.

i'm all out of faith.
this is how i feel, i'm cold and i am shamed
lying naked on the floor.
illusion never changed
into something real.
wide awake and i can see the perfect sky is torn.
you're a little late, i'm already torn.

so i guess the fortune teller's right;
i should have seen just what was there
and not some holy light.
but you crawled beneath my veins and now
i don't care, i have no luck.
i don't miss it all that much.
there's just so many things
that i can't touch, i'm torn.


there's nothing where we used to lie
my inspiration has run dry
and that's what is goin' on
nothin's right, i'm torn

i'm all out of faith.
this is how i feel, i'm cold and i'm ashamed
bound and broken on the floor.
you're a little late, i'm already torn.
