about

Notes: Workin out a new chord structure and paired it with a set of orphaned lyrics. One take, one-track -- made the changes on the fly.

Tried to shake this track but I couldn't. Came at the tail end of the Blood & Treasure sessions (October 07), but it just didn't fit a collection until now.

The seas were pretty rocky then -- sails all tattered. Only thing to do was keep the airwaves open and put the oars in the ocean. Though, I was prepared to scuttle the ship.

lyrics

The empty grid gazes up
At the empty face up above
Worn down and not a clue
The puzzle master and the fat she chews
Leaves ya mumblin’ and stumblin’
Where the numbers won’t live
Just her insinuations
And the answers you give
It fills in the puzzle but
It’s all up to her
Sometimes they settle
Sometimes astir
What goes where and
What makes the fit
You make speak the truth
But how well does it sit?

She’s the eye of her own storm
Be warned
The rose and the thorn

(gonna) Clip you out.
