lyrics

you said you couldn't do it anymore
I guess you got tired of waiting on the answer you were looking for.
I would keep pretending, and push through
but it's just not fair to you.

I'm lying on my death bed, baby
and now that it's here, I'm not so sure that I wanted life to go so fast.

but like we always do, I'll be born again
into a circle of new friends.
I'll be making promises, and making new plans
hoping that some day I'll be born into a life
where I can be a stronger man,
'cause this just isn't fair to you.

I'm lying on my death bed, baby
and now that it's here, I'm not so sure that I wanted life to go so fast.

hopefully these separate roads don't leave us sad and alone.
I'm scared of the thought but I don't leave now, we'll never know.

I'm lying on my death bed, baby
and now that it's here, I'm not so sure that I wanted life to go so fast.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
