Song Information:

recorded this one night when i couldn't sleep. it's my alternative to counting sheep. (vocals are a tad on the low side b/c i didn't want to wake my neighbors and could only boost them so much within garageband.)

wrote the song in october 2003.

lyrically and musically, i'm going for spare. i want it to keep going over the same progression, like treading water. that was what the relationship felt like.

Song Lyrics:

Music and lyrics by Erica Rowell

Can't drink enough coffee
To wake the dead
Can't water my eyes enough
To get out the red
Though I keep on thinking to myself
All the things that you said
To kill the moment, kill the spririt.

Sleep-walking around like
Nothing's wrong
You waded in too deep
And I waited too long
Now I keep on thinking to myself
All the things you did wrong
To kill the moment, kill the spirit

Can't drink enough whisky
To clear my head
Can't kickstart myself enough
To get out the lead
Though I keep on reminding myself
All the things you had to
Kill the moment kill the spirit.

Small-talking it down
Like it just wan't real
Pushing back the emotions
Pretend like you didn't feel
And oh I keep on telling myself
Now it's time to heal
Kill the moment, kill the spirit.

Can't drink, can't sleep, can't sleep-walk around life.
