A dense, swirling scratch. We tried several things to make it interesting, but always, as always, came back to the strings and the vocals of Misty and Carol.

lyrics

Broke and scared 10 years
Broke because I'm lazy
And scared I'll disappear
Attention I'd come to love
Its made me tear at my reflection
And curse the friends I'm thinking of
Oh I've out-whiskeyed and out-gin'ed
Oh I've out-grieved and out-tailspinned
Always promised to begin again

Gathering evidence
Of all the changes I've lay claim to
The sudden streaks of common sense
A well-lit path ahead
One look over my shoulder
Invokes the circus I had led
Oh I observed my spine go slack
Oh I've done time for what I lack
Always addicted to looking back
Oh I out-whiskeyed and out-ginned
Oh I out-grieved and out-tailspinned
Aways known I'd begin again

Memory wants me dead
