Saw the head of a flower ripped from its stem A building condemned I found some of your hair on the floor There's something really familiar Was I just remembering a dream? A tire deflate The warning too late I saw your thumbprint on the handle of the door There's something really familiar Was I just remembering a dream? Was it only just a memory Saw the clock's hands come to a halt Watched the door close on the vault I found a sample of your handwriting in the drawer There's something really familiar Was it only ever just a memory? Or a dream

Now that I've stopped to care I'm kinda bummed I had bigger plans for my death than just what comes Hit by a bus never appealed to my taste An end out of my hands a total waste I wanted to make it public I wanted to make it sick I was headed for home When I felt foreboding give chase I hastened my step, or, quickened my pace I bent to pick it up but found it was gone I guess I'll just have to introduce myself from now on I tripped And the pavement stripped from my face The distinguishing features Of a man who just lost the race It's lost

Track Rabbit 02:04
All of the city looms Well enough over my head to keep me scared I feel safe on the bus most times Most times Sometimes I feel like every person, car, and building flashing past us in the window Gets sucked up behind us in the draft And chases me home The clouds are moving a hell of a lot faster than I am Sun screams out of little open patches now And then delicately muted by the next passing layer The wind almost blew me clear off my head

Halcyon 02:05
I want to uncage the sun But when the deed is done Will I find that it cant be bothered to glow? Keep striking matches to pioneer the dark But they just sizzle and snuff at the mention of a spark I know the bird must journey from a far off land By the time it's perched on my halo will I have the strength to stand? I want to bury a bone But when the seed is sown Will I find that it cant be bothered to grow?

Once I've summoned the reaper How long will it take him to arrive? I waited on the corner My feet in the designated spot But when I called death to my service He gave me up as a bad job He said, "Kid, you aint worth my time."

Dissolved 02:03
Dissolved My eyelids turn down The voice of the current fades I'm lulled into dreams by the song of the waves I'm crashing into the shore My body is the coast and I want nothing more It's solved

about

All songs written, recorded, and performed by Slipper Grass.

Recorded on a Tascam Portastudio 4 track cassette recorder in a bedroom at 58 Linden Street, Pittsfield, MA on many dates throughout 2007. Original cassette limited to 15 copies. My first time doing vocals for anything. This is not the real cover art, I dont have a scan at the moment.
