This track was inspired by listening to mewithoutyou and by the breakup of my band Cleetus and the DGG. Ultimately though it is a continuation of the concept of a fictional character named Sam.

lyrics

It was a beautiful day in hell and I was thinking wouldn’t it be nice if things would go my way. It started raining! A cold sort of sprinkle for clean july. the sky was black with pockets of light in the distance…But I brought my jacket. Captain I have become to cool for the room we’ve known. I wanted to paint this picture in hopes you’d understand. I was nursing a wilted sun. nursing a wilted sun, too cool for the room. So I loaded up my guitars, P.A. and amplifiers into that old red truck that loved to break down. And then let it all out, what I’d been thinking. As the storm rolled slow, far away, they wandered and frowned but couldn’t really deny the differences being voiced. So I was leaving. Captain I have become to cool for the room we’ve known. I wanted to paint this picture in hopes you’d understand. I was nursing a wilted sun. nursing a wilted sun, too cool for the room. What have you learned son? I can still regret with the best of them. To and under the causeway, It’s time to go, I need to remember what I’ve lost.
So you step in the light and I find myself thinking, “Do sinking ships really need such light anyway?” I know the answer, so you go on Kerry, cause I’m not blinking and you deserve a better life.
