about

written and recorded in summer '09, easily the most elliott smith influenced piece; although not as lyrically clever nor musically sophisticated. this is about how ending your life is within reach. aren't you tired of thinking about your existence?

lyrics

found the limits.
still stuck in lament.
...you'd think after 19 years;
what can you think after 19 years?
push through boundaries.
release care to the wind.
putting on your punk belt.
beating hearts bleeding out a dying soul.
one thousand motors.
can't you feel it beating?
won't you make it stop?
all this weight.
all this pressure.
all these thoughts.
all my life.
...you'd think after 19 years;
why think for 19 more?
