about

Recorded in the Fullerton Ave living room, Chicago IL

Original session lost, final mix from November 10, 2005

lyrics

She asks a very quiet question about blown youth
The music vows and the fair state too
But I haven't changed, it isn't true

Don't skip ahead, you won't like the ending
Quiet, Ophelia, 'cause I'm only pretending

She says I'm out of time, an ex-expectant rose
Pretends she's chaste as ice and pure as snow
But my mind is clean, not overthrown

Don't skip ahead, 'cause I'm only pretending
Quiet, Ophelia, 'cause you won't like the ending

Well the glass of fashion and mold of form
Has never darkened and never torn
It's just priorities alter and rearrange
And the simplest thing is to act this strange
And if I leave you wretched, dejected and changed
Well, I'm sorry Ophelia, but I must play my game

Not blasted with ecstasy, not honey-drained
When the observer's observed, the observer's changed
And I'm just too obsessed to explain

Don't skip ahead, there'll be no god-sending
All bright revenge when fired comes bending
Well, dead man's fingers, you won't like the ending
Quiet, Ophelia, 'cause I'm only pretending
