	Story Behind the Song Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Luke Harper at Two Fish Studios in January and February of 2003. Produced by Luke Harper and The Common Place. Lyrics smokestacks sound like cigarettes frame the night and strafe across the open sky he stares at his breath as it hangs still and tries not to hear the quiet swings his legs and wonders where the virtue lies in silence and he sees the concrete gutters burn with shades of fall and blinks away the insistence of his fear its just another year he feels the current tugging strong on him today another melancholy step by step routine to tame the part of him that battles is still longing to be free and I can almost see that part of me bangs his wrists to mediate the rain exhales and fogs a window traces himself a brand new new name that time will tell "now I want it back," he says to the street the glass and rocks to his reflected face then listens to the echo lifts his collar to the cold and he sees the concrete gutters burn with shades of fall sees the smokestacks etching out a call to walk away from fear and though the answers drift away on the cold air dissolve on the horizon and leave little traces of their promise this will pass he understands them vividly and I can almost see that part of me we all need our troubles all our meager hopes and dreams they serve as a reminder that its all in our heads we forget the irony the way we learn to crawl and i can almost see that part of me
