i never want to see you in the raw and searing flesh i don't ever want to hear you singing softly to the dead i never want to feel your skin running warm along my side i don't ever want to sink that way again it would be easier to die to die i'm tending the pyres of my frustrations burning leaves on buried dreams kneeling in to rake the ashes i'm embering. you're smoldered out. my hands are free, my lungs are proud your forgiveness is a fading fiction your forgiveness is a fading fiction these flames have never burned so high i won't be staring in your eyes i'm trying hard not to remember the way the smoke drifts through the air we'll all be dead come november four months out of every year every year (every year) i won't be staring in your eyes every year

about

The Lawrence Arms is a super important band to us. I (Jack) was getting into them right when I started writing stuff for what would (eventually) become Atlas On Strike.

We recorded this for a contest to be on the soundtrack for a documentary about Fat Wreck Chords (a great label) and lost because I thought that the album that this is originally on came out in 1999 but it actually came out in 2003 and the rules said it had to be "pre-2000" Fat Wreck. If you ask me the best stuff came after 2000 on that label, but I'm rambling. We also probably lost cause we suck.

Anyway...please enjoy this cover. I imagine it as Slapstick-era Brendan Kelly traveling into the future and meeting TLA-era Brendan Kelly and then covering his future band's song in his present band...if that makes any sense at all..

Recorded/Mixed/Mastered by Dalton Scolman in The Hole.
