Name: Headstone
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: This is a re-recorded version of an old song from a split that I've since taken off my Bandcamp page because my half of the split is unlistenable. If Luke (from Kule / Potted / his own name) still has that split on his page then feel free to check it out there, if you want. I'll probably record at least one of the two other songs I put on that split in the future, too.

lyrics

Keeping up with anything outside your own conscience
Let alone with your own conscience
Burning the candle at both ends, fulfilling 'til it's not
'Til you're just left with a pile of wax
Losing sight of memories, there's no better time than now
To forget all about now
There's so much going on right now, I don't know exactly where I've been
But when the time comes

I am gonna get you a thirty-foot-tall headstone
To commemorate your journey into the unknown
On its front will be inscribed all of the inside jokes from our lives
The humor that got us through the nights

When the day breaks, it'll shatter all across the floor
We'll walk on the morning eggshells
And when the night fell, shredded paper rain poured on down
Still wondering where the hell the ink went
There's a parking lot where car once sat with a couple of kids
Listening to Bright Eyes and eating Topperstix
There's so much to these moments, it don't matter where my eyelids went

Even if I get myself arrested or dead
By the time I'm thirty and completely hellbent
On destroying every document of the past
