lyrics

Time is not a finished tapestry! We can work our fingers in the dye of history.

The cassette tape took its last breath face down in a shallow grave; the album's reading its epitaph at the dawn of the digital age. "Stay alive," it says. "Don't get obsolete." The album feels its middle, figures out that its filler is pretty weak. I know what it's thinking to itself - "How do I get back to a point where I feel good about my health?"

So what have we learned today? If you love a format, don't let it fade away. All the albums that I love gather dust on the shelf, and as far as you're concerned I should listen to myself. Put your name on the records on the sleeves beside the tracks, so when I'm looking at the songs that remind me of you, you'll be staring back. I'll put your heart in all the mixtapes, all the soundtracks to my life: songs cut with humour and metaphor, meant to get you high as a kite on increasing doses of my worldview. These songs were meant for a singular "you," somebody different. Somebody new. The first time we touched, talked. A new needle to stick in my arm and make me feel like if I could spin your heart again and again I could figure out what gives it its lasting appeal.
