Another new original -- swear, this one actually has lyrics.

I broke my mic before recording the second verse and chorus, which is why the quality on those is lesser than the first (had to sing into the mic on my powerbook).

I plan on totally rerecording both. The chorus will have two lead vocals, so as to actually get all the words in. Anyway, here they are:

she opens up the curtains to listen to the pavement
these amphetamines, they work too fast
no way to know for certain if she'd disturb the neighbors
but upstairs, they're making love
these are the kind of curtains you could use to make a dress from
and wonder what it's like to be a bride
and if she had the nerve she might wear that gown around some nights
and find someone to make her own love to

back behind the curtain lights
behind brown eyes and wicked sighs
amphetamines they work too fast
swear to god she thinks she might
but the curtain lights stay bright
and pavement rings; she hates the rain
cut her hair as short she could
with kitchen knives till the air, it cooled
the exposed scalp of seventeen years and some

swears she died, as well she should
i'm well aware how much it burns
swears she's died, as well she should
i'm well aware how much it burns

It's about a girl I knew my early years back in high school, who tried to kill herself. Never knew her well, but it's a sympathetic song.
