Lyrics
Paper Trail Portrait

The corridor is crowded
All these people they won't let me
Forget you, or that photograph
I found under your bed
I swore not to tell
But I'd like to
Would you hate me?

If I laid it out in the kitchen
Ordered by date, month and time
This is my kind of paper trail portrait
Of your lifetime, as you know it
One picture frame at a time

Every time we talk
I dedicate my life to something different
I bet you are hoping
That I make up my mind
And I stand by my decision
Why, why?

Do I define myself with just what I do
with my time
See when you're not around
It feels alright to leave it all behind

Baby won't you keep me, keep me talking all night

Here we are all alone
Your apartment in the city
The one with the balcony
And all of your stuff
In a few more hours it will all be gone
Cause you've had enough
Oh you've had enough

And you're leaving in the morning
On a train with a no name
For a new way of life
You get to where you're going
Just to turn her inside out

She still wants you, wants you by her side

And you're leaving in the morning
On a train with a no name
For a new way of life
You get to where you're going
Just to turn her inside out

She still wants you, wants you...

Why
.. do you need a vocalist, Pengui? This is a beautiful track, with wonderful vocals. Great guitar playing on this ... overall, one of the best things I've heard here this year.

Anytime, love that last rap song you posted. If you have anything in Garageband that needs some bass, send it over.

March of the Elephants
Thanks for the comment. I like the Blue Elephant Song you posted a few years back. I like mellow introspective things like that.
