	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song in the fall of 2000 after some "difficulties" with one of my love interests. I can safely say, however, that he was not the complete inspiration behind this song, I also based this song off of personal relationships conveyed to me from family and friends. There were actually two roughs for this song, one soft and almost sad, and this one that has more of a rock "in your face, kiss my a**" kind of feel. We decided to put this one on the album to give a better transition between "Memorial" and "Restaurant of Despair." Eventually I would like to re-record and release the lighter version, but unless someone wants to sign me or fund my recording habit, that's going to have to wait. -Aimee Elisabe Lyrics Close all the windows And lock all the doors The moonlight is escaping It's moving in hordes And I have asked ‘til I'm blue in the face Search and seizure could have never been sweeter But not with your cold embrace So walk out the door And whisper a rhyme Come to a conclusion and offer dilution Yourself this time And I ask for little And I ask for none But I saw the roses die and wither slowly beneath the sun (Chorus) Every day is falling forward And every moment is just bliss And the clock is moving backward To independence And so the birds They laugh in the trees And the spiritual air that we felt Is now just a breeze And die in the window And cover your scars Iron the denim sheets And kiss away the stars (Chorus 3x
