	This is a rough sketch of what this song should sound like. There's not much else you can do with a 4-track and a mic in your bedroom. note: this song has been rerecorded at epi 1 ecosystems studio and that version (not this one) will most likely accompany "beat death to find a reason" on a split 7" with coulier before the end of the year.
	CD: demo   Label: Clock Kicker Records Credits: written and recorded by Robert Gunn in his bedroom
	Lyrics people have needs. some flaunt them like diamonds. some hide them in closets. where no one can find them. and is it so wrong?--i want to scream it from the rooftops. i want to shout at all our friends. let them know what you did. let them know what i did for you. cause i'm your golden captain. i took you under my wing. i made you open your eye lids. i taught you how to sing. i'm the hole in the system that you found your way out. don't i at least get a thank you?--i taught you how to shout. and you know those angry nights haunt me. do they bother you too? don't you know that i'm sorry. i never meant to hurt you. just don't forget that i made you. yeah i'm the reason you're here. you were my reason to wake up. you were the reason i feared. losing all kind of contact. with the one that you love. turns it more like a drama. makes things too serious. but just think where would you be now? you'd be crying inside. you'd be dying daily. taking pills to survive. so don't i at least get a thank you? for all the work i have done. something more like a token. of your endless appreciation. two long goodnights. i'll see you tomorrow. just close your eyes. it'll be gone tomorrow.
