March 2017
Demo of the With Distance track, back from when the album was intended as a more acoustic, lo-fi affair. For me, this version's about equal with the album version.
lyrics
She said I look pretty in pink
Oh, thank you, I said, but I don't think it suits me
I feel so cold inside my veins and pulled back in my head
She said it doesn't matter if I show up today
Nobody will notice and they'll move on without you, it's better just to stay
I can feel the states beneath me
Louisiana at my feet
I don't recognise the pieces
I'm becoming incomplete
I live a lonely life but it's mine
And no-one can take that away from me
But sometimes, I wish they could, sometimes I know I can't take care of myself
She said the heartache runs in those bitter lines of pink
I feel so overwrought I don't know what to think
I can feel the weight above me
Crushing down on what's below
I can't recollect the pieces
There is nothing I don't know
