Lightning in a Bottle

i feel the changes in the air i see the sunlight dance on your hair in the fall we would take walks and talk about the movies we'd watch all night long i dont think either one of us would complain about a thing my heightened senses when youre near pick up faint things like theyre clear like when you say things after thinking about someone else you sound different when youre sad then you asked to hold my hand as long as you feel safe im staying theres so much that i wish that i could say and i wish that you could stay i wish that you could stay

spirits broke into my room tonight threatening to burn my sheets and take everything from me locked me out under the winter sky watch my own home go up in flames burn everything left inside i forced my way into the fire ashes fly into my face burn my eyes out burn like mace kicked my door down and what do i see? i see myself holding matches and kerosene it feels like dust in my eyes my heart is burning nobody will sleep tonight my hands are tied you knew what you wanted but you were never satisfied spend all my nights wishing you were still alive try your hardest to forget that night cant help but feel your shadow creeping up from behind this is how i bought my own demise this is how i lost my own damn mind spirits broke into my room tonight cant do a thing about it but watch them do as they please you wanna know how to get your life back i'll tell you what what can you do? dead people argue less

Delirious 03:50
you better turn around cause youre in my town now facedown on the blacktop dont have what they relish in like comfort in common habits completely disenchanted everything is opposite of how its supposed to be i see the wings of febrile beings when youre asleep what is your dream? you wanna know just where i've been running around losing my head talking all about the times a thousand miles from where you are you gotta know just where ive been i'm trying to hide myself no one above will ever show, i'm just dying for some help i dont know where i've been i can't remember anything
4.
pumping gas for the first time without you in the seat next to me demanding that i leave the keys so you could listen to the radio and i know that driving doesnt seem to help but its better than waiting for calls that are not coming i take long walks around 6 o clock each night reliving that day when i was too late now i live in sunset purgatory waiting for our spirits to leave our bodies unite once more on top of old trees growing new leaves and i see everywhere from way up here you gotta let go before you grab hold we're fixing your heart and healing your soul when the sun gets low, it's your time to go let your spirit fly out the window
5.
are you just gonna stand there as i'm laying here dying dont know why you would do that my mind just keeps on searching for a reason you'd just watch me as i lay down here all alone i cant see a thing so youre just gonna stand there i'm begging for a hand up cause i cant see two feet behind me has anybody found me? while i lay down here all alone, i cant see a thing are you just gonna stand there? maybe for the better i cant control that especially when you said i love you that's why i have to leave you down here
6.
i cant stand the man i am cant help it i use everybody for myself i was outside in the rain and the gloom everything was ordinary but it wouldnt be soon i stopped to catch my breath as i realized with fright what you're about to say- would change our lives forever- that night want you to feel it everything i ever had to want you to stab yourself twist it its a catch 22 and theres nothing you can do (hey, strickland!)

about

These are the final Flashback Humor studio recordings.

Initially started in June 2017, we tracked drums and rhythm guitar live in Trevor's basement. It was intended to be an EP of updated recordings, with additional parts we started doing live. It was one of those things we never got time to go back and finish all the way, so they've been sitting on my hard drive since then. I've mixed them on and off for the past few years, and now I think they are the best they can be and ready for release.

I wish we had more time to record with Trevor, but I'm so happy that these session files were still intact.
