Plus this is only version 1.0; I'll re-record large chunks of it when circumstances permit (better mics, better recording space, a real piano, real drums, etc.). Here it is, flaws and all. This is more a "real song" than the other stuff. I wrote it in the late fall of 2001, driving from Athens to Durham on I-85 at night. (I remember wondering, in the days after 9/11, how anyone could write music or create any kind of art after having witnessed all that deliberate mass destruction. I guess this was my answer.) It's about inadequacy, falling short of one's goals and even shorter of one's dreams; falling short of (or out of) grace. It's about gender dysphoria. It's about depression. It's about my dead friends (one of whom was merely ill at the time). <center>~~ For [[htwiki:Jenny|Jenny]] and [[htwiki:Tigger|Tigger]] ~~</center> <center>''(...and with apologies to [[Wikipedia:Tears for Fears|Tears for Fears]], "Listen", [[Wikipedia:Songs from the Big Chair|Songs from the Big Chair]])''</center> ==Lyrics== :Please remind me what it was I was put on this planet for :‘Cause every step I take I find a new hole in the floor :And everywhere I look I find another open door :To somewhere not meant for me :That’s not where I’m spozed to be {{faint|Where do you want to be?}} :I want to be with you! {{faint|What is it that you see?}} :I see myself outside the light :That shines on all the beautiful girls ::Who fly..... ::All the beautiful girls ::Can fly away. :That dream is dead, it’s time to put it in the ground :And that one’s suffering, I ought to put it down :It screams so loud it’s sure to bring the neighbors ‘round :With all the help that they think I need :Confusion is guaranteed {{faint|What do you need to see?}} :I want to know what’s real {{faint|Where do you need to be?}} :I need to be inside the light :That shines from all the beautiful girls ::Who fly.... ::All the beautiful girls ::Can fly away. :Then maybe I’d be with you :Just think of all the things we could do :All the beautiful girls ::Can fly.... ::All the beautiful girls ::Can fly away.
