about
Warning: Not a metal song! So metalheads feel free to skip this one. The doom/fuzzy version of this song was previously released with the Nor'easter collection. This here is the song as originally conceived. This version’s been lying around for a while, and we always thought is sounded good, so why let a good recording go to waste. So here it is for your enjoyment. As always, thank you for listening!
lyrics
your mother called me born to fail
she’d know she’s calling you from jail
and i’m drifting like jonah in the whale
i got little to take away
babe we’ve reached no mans land
this rented half of a house been slammed
by our tempests & noreasters, still
i swear you were always precious
mayb some day you gon look back & laugh
at the time before the babies & the crash
wasnt like i was goin places anyway
u should known better when u took my name
now it roll off your tongue like a curse like a chain
thrown off with a whole lot of malice
and nothing to gain
maybe i was born to fail
but i’ll dazzle the kids now & then
at least every other week i know
you waiting for me to split, now & forever
babe we’ve reached no mans land
this rented half of a house been slammed
by our tempests & noreasters
still i swear you were always precious
Our dreams untangled filaments of rage
the love we strangled, skin raked on your ring
Pawned off, it all sounded pretty like a storm blowin on chimes
our lanes gone narrow, home’s a fallow field
the grind sapped me hollow got nothing you need
so finally i’m fleeing the scene
like u said it would be
baby what a mess i made
left us withered, so bitter & afraid
These fuckin jobs dont pay & i aint
been much company
now we’ve reached no mans land
this rented half of a house been slammed
by our tempests & noreasters
still i swear you were always precious
maybe i was born to fail
but i’ll dazzle the kids now & then
at least every other week i swear
one way or the other, we’re now & forever
