tell your secrets (unreleased, 1998)

last song they played before the crash. recovered fragment from doreann’s notebook + tape hiss transcription.

home was the world  
and then i tell it all my secrets  
it doesn't interrogate now  

baby i can breathe like static under water  
girl, you hum like film burning slow  
the truth slips out between the chords  
and no one ever has to know  

the streetlight flickers once for mercy  
the moon forgets our names again  
we carve our lives into the ceiling  
and call it heaven when it rains  

if i go first, keep the tape rolling  
let the feedback write my vow  
home was the world  
and then i told it all my secrets  
it doesn’t ask me how  
        

(note from liv: background sounds like santi counting them in at the start — you can faintly hear him laugh right before the first line 🕯)
