Why Do Things Die

by @paintonit

Liner Notes

I didn't have as much time to record this one. It's sort of expanding on the themes of Lost Glove.

Lyrics

Damn those times
Brings me
 back to the climb
When I lost myself
At the continental shelf
Worst case running wild
Crying like a child
I was stuck on you
You had things to do
Out there

Why do things die?

Caught one show you just
seemed to glow
Up there lost in the words
Singing like the birds
Worms and all 

Seeds like shakers shaking
Little heartbeats breaking

Shells on pavement
You had
 vision brave as a telescope

Why do things die?

Shortest day of the 
longest year of my life
Funny how you change
Not to people from your past life
Shortest day of the 
longest year of my life
Funny how you change
Funny how you change

Missed my chance but it’s
Not romance it’s better
Mythological and
Strong as triangles or
Real as major thirds
All my words will fail to
Capture you I pledge to
Dedicate my life to trying

Beautifully written and performed. "strong as triangles or real as major thirds" is a killer line.
