about

Recorded entirely on a 16-track Otari MTR90 tape machine in NYU Steinhardt's Studio D for Tom Beyer's Analog Recording Technology class

lyrics

Look at her standing above you
She knows that you know that she loves you
So many times this has happened
The past won't let you look past it

What kind of gun are you wielding
What sensitive parts are you shielding
You've searched through your soul and inspected
Have you found what you need to protect it

You don't wanna be my friend
You just don’t want to break my heart
You tried to let me down real soft
But you make it hard on yourself
Hard on yourself

You’ll say anything you want
You just don’t want to break my heart
You tried to let me down soft
But you make it hard on yourself
Hard on yourself

Once upon a time in pain
Curled yourself into a ball
The myth you wrote of who you are
But you don’t know yourself at all
At all

What kind of gun are you wielding
