About This Track
--------------------

I can't even remember how many tracks I used for this song, but the mixing engineer (Don Farwell of Earwig Studio in Seattle) was either mildly amused or slightly horrified. This song details someone who just can't let it go and equates wallowing in regret to being murdered by your own memories. I watch way too many horror movies.

- Ira

lyrics

Murder Of Me
----------------

All the try and roll of die was sincere
Everywhere I walk your stamp is still here
When I close my eyes the clues creep so clear
You were never mine
But I could catch your throw

Righteous regress
To a time before the time I saw your beauty
In summer dress shining and free
Alwaystheless
Every memory is served to guarantee
The murder of me
Murder of me

Expectations sent our calm into clashes
Burning hearts became a pain in our ashes
Meadows green spilled into dangerous passage
And made us blind
(I could see you though)

Righteous regress
To a time before the time I saw your beauty
Insolent mess my jubilee
Alwaystheless
Every grain of sand is falling to demand
The murder of me

Missing you so
I guess I don't know
Do I gotta know like every damn reason
I do what I do to make sense of feelings oh I...

(Reverse earthquake
Leaves fall and bones break
Won't call for your sake
Time tells her secrets to no one)

Must move on to a time before the time I knew your touch
Accept that you're gone and the best is yet to come
But it's brains over brawn
When my memory is on it's killing spree
And murdering me murder of me yeah it's
Murder of me murder of me yeah it's
Murder of me murder of me
Murder of me
Yeah
