A live-recording of a special "chill-out mix" of the song "Layers of Paint," recorded while our drummer was away traveling on sabbatical.
lyrics
I've been working on this like a mantra. I've been slopping down layers of paint. I keep adding and adding the details. I keep pushing, until it might break. Without you, I'll keep adding one more layer. Until I kill it (I've killed it, oh). Without you I just keep adding more and more paint (it's never done). Without you I just keep adding one more layer, until I kill it. Without you, I'll keep adding more and more paint. I've always been bad at knowing when a piece is finished. I can never quite tell when a project should end. I need your perspective to guide me, when to stop dipping the brush in again. Before I put it in a frame, I need to explain, I wasn't trying to talk about "us." But you're the one I've come to rely on, to tell me when enough is enough. See with us, I keep trying to add more layers, until I kill it, I've killed it, oh... Because you've always been the one to let me know when something's done, oh its done.You know I've always been bad at knowing when a piece is finished, so darling let me know, when the portrait of us is done. Darling, you should have told me sooner... that the portrait... of us... was done.
