about

This track was originally written for a concept of doing a Cloverfield musical-style album, which mercifully fell through. I always really liked the melody though - it was always the standout from the demos I had for the project, and seeing as how it was reasonably contemporaneous to the Asuka recordings, it's worth sharing here.

ProTip! It sounds better with women singing the female parts, I imagine.

lyrics

We were to be married in February
Now I'm feeling wary if I'll even live through this night
If I was your left, you were my right
(To have and to hold)

I feel old, and cold, and weak and gray
Long black shadows on a summer's day
If I was your rock, you were my waves.
And oh! How we'd crash together.

Jason! Jason, when will you come home?
Don't you know I hate when I'm alone
I'll wash the laundry, I'll cook in your stead
But I'll still sleep in half a bed

And then there were four.

When there wasn't any other I'd have my brother
We'd play forever in the deep, red autumn of our youth
If I told a lie, he'd spurn the truth
(Even when it was so)

I feel alone and lost and so betrayed
Long black shadows on a summer's day
From two siblings down to one, I am afraid
What can one do?

Jason! Jason, when will you come home?
Don't you know I hate sleeping alone
I'll be your Lily, I will wait and wait
I'd give my life for you to stay

And now there are four.

I bought this on a drunken night of bad comedy horror movie binges. This humor cannot be defeated. You automatically lose. If you aren't crying laughing two minutes in, you have no sense of humor and zero soul. Kenstrosity
