Recorded in the Fossmo's living room in Austin, TX.

lyrics

Oh tell me why. Why am I here?
Among the smoke and hazy stares.
All shuffling amongst the anxious square.
Where sobs and tears cut through the wistful air.
I don't that I don't have long as I climb up the stage stairs.
They applaud that I'll be gone soon.
How is this fair?

They tie my hands behind my back.
They clamp my head down tight on the wooden rack.
I don't know what it is I've done.
But by the blood on the ground it looks like I'm not the only one.
They ask me if I have any final requests.
As I watch all the pretty girls gasp in their Sunday dress.

I can't help but be nervous as I lay beneath the blade.
They call out my name and my service and just why I deserve to die today.

Now I'm afraid but not of death.
Just the thought that I won't see my girl again.
And as I hear the lever fall.
I look around and find her standing there all her 5 foot tall.
My eyelids flutter fast.
My last 13 seconds love are spent telling you I'm fine
In coherent morse code.

I can't help but be nervous as I blush beneath the blade.
They calls out my name and I notice her say goodbye as my vision fades.
