written in late '08, re-recorded in winter '10, this is what i would consider to be my best lyrical effort. so bitter, so angry. so sad.

lyrics

this always was your favorite;
the large picket fence on the horizon
it constantly reminds me of the searching
for someone i somehow, somewhere, lost

i formally bragged about my hazel eyes.
i now cover them in contact blue.
your fire burns the canvas of autumn's skies...
leaving a desolate summer behind in untruth

i find myself pining for the day...
when the sun doesn't shine
we bundle ourselves up inside
the smell of grass in spring
uncovers lust for nothing

...and it's just you...and it's just me...
...and it's just you...and it's just me...

i heard they are tearing down the fence
...and all i feel is cold now in this city
headlines read, "merely a commercial expense"
finally found your excuse to leave me

...and it's just me...
...and it's just me...
