My Good Stress

by Error Jordan

/
1.
Don't waste too much time on dreaming. Don't waste your life, I want you to live. I closed my eyes for a minute, when I woke up, it was all gone. So they come around and take the pictures. The crowds are holding back, just out of view. Too far back to tell if she is smiling, even if you wanted to, and I'm not sure if I do. You're stone cold on the floor, with your keys still in the door. And I know you wanted more than you got. Will you come around and paint me a picture? The clouds are holding off, just out of view. Too far back to tell if she is smiling, even if I wanted to, and I don't think that I do.
2.
Take me down to the edge of town, down by the river. Bind my feet, my hands, my knees. Fill my head with the things you said. If you come back around this part of town, try to forget it, The pangs may come, but there are ways to numb when you regret it. Close my eyes Skip your goodbyes Don't stay up on account of anything I've done. Walk away! No, stay! No, leave! One way to live: Take all they'll give. They'll be alright! One way to die: Love till you can't survive.

The Leaves 03:37
I hate myself for losing you. I hate the sun for still making it's way through. Pull back the sheets, I'm still not coming to, when I'm still in bed a quarter after two. You made your point, I swear I heard it all outside your door, you locked me in the hall. But, you can't blame yourself for very long. I wish you sleep. I wish you'd call. Don't pull the leaves from the tree (They're gonna fall on their own eventually) You don't want me there to change your mind, so I'm staying put where I'll be out of sight. Just give it time and I'll fall out of mind. I'm doing better, and I'm walking fine.

Wake me up, I'm still listening. You're not talking, but I can hear you. Say something! Say anything! I've been waiting, but I can't wait much longer now. My body has been pleading with my soul, "Have mercy! You're not as new as you were told." "No! Don't slow down! You lost control." Tie me down. I can't sit still. I've been pacing. I paced the place for traces of you.
5.
I was altering my conscious untwisting knots inside my brain. I got your message in the morning, now I'm wondering where you're at today. So, if I burn out both my retinas, will the memories start to fade? No, where the sun's at never mattered. I'm always stuck under your rays these days. Oh darling! I feel low. If you think I'm miserable, let's go, Just take me home. Are you thinking of me lately? If I knew what to, I'd change. You can come back if you're ready. It's tied my stomach up for days. They're such long days. Oh sweetheart, I'm so low. You know. My heart's so miserable. Don't go, Just come back home. My face is still the same as the one you used to claim. Oh Darling! I'm so low, you know. My heart's so miserable! You can go slow, But come back home!

about

Hey guys,

I originally started writing this record last summer a little here and there. Then, I let it sit for a bit. I'm glad I did.
Let's all take a deep breath together.

In the spirit of this Error Jordan project, I recorded four of the five of these jams in one week (give or take a few overdubs by some kind friends) while on a, “Staycation” (please forgive me for using that word) from 6/3/2018-6/8/2018. Over My Shoulder was recorded 6/15/2018 late into the night.

Anyway, I love doing this. Thanks for showing some amount of interest.

Here’s to the good stress
