	Story Behind the Song This thing festered inside me for over a year with a LOT of edits of the lyrics before I finally had some that worked. It was only then that I fleshed out the musical sketches I had for the tune. It's all about how I consistantly talk more than I do, and this self-imposed curse drives me mad sometimes. Technically speaking, this song is pretty wild: It modulates keys more than I usually do, and its fluctuating changes in meter are there only because Stravinsky made me aware of this irradic thumping in my chest. Lyrics I came into this creamy womb with smokey smiles... With fearful eyes I locked the door behind me tight. I profess no innocence, but I couldn’t bear to leave this fairy-tale of easy lies for suffering. And once again I’ve wasted time on my fading flings that hide the urgency of now. My epitaph lacks accomplishments in this fractal life of latent mediocrity. So will wait and lean on you and I’ll tell you all the things I’ve almost done. Time is short and slips away but there’s nothing I can do or say. Alibi (whispered): “To hesitate is not a sin, and there’s no need to finish what you begin. Your ramblings are meaningful and you’re getting wiser all along!” Alibi, he knows me well and the truth inside we never have to tell. With words like thunder, but deeds like rain, we promised change but we stayed the same. So I will wait and lean on you and I’ll tell you all the things I’ve almost done. Time is short and slips away, but there’s nothing I can do or say.
