This track, like all tracks on this album, was performed live with my Boss RC-50 loop station. The RC-50 was one of the first loop stations to go to market, and it's no longer manufactured. There are no backing tracks, nothing is pre-recorded, all loops are created live in real-time, all instruments and vocals are performed by me (Gabriel Soriano), and all lyrics and music are written by me as well.
lyrics
I got a new prescription to cure an old addiction
Swallowed them fuckers whole and fell asleep
Pray-tell, what are you whispering?
I'm the only one who's listening
The fragments of an empire sinking deep...
Honestly, I'm broken, the void inside me's woken
To empty space and hollow misery
And now, I stand in silence
Hell, everyone should try this
And then we'd all know what it's like to bleed
A specter in the distance, the jukebox on the fritz
Stuck playing that old record through and through
And this used to be our song babe...
It's been such a long day, say, I could use a drink
How 'bout you?
And I'll sleep on the sofa, I won't come any closer
I'll even let you smoke my last cigar
And as the embers soften, we'll think of all we've lost
And we'll pray to wake up better than we are
I'm waiting on your answer in the company of a dancer
Who swears she put her two-weeks in today
Saved up all her money, movin' some place sunny
Where not a single soul will know her name...
