about

An outtake from 'The Fire Next Time' and intended for a 2010 EP called "Our Heritage is Unto Us," which was later discarded in order to work on the full length release: "Signs & Wonders."

Lyrics by Jonathan Vassar. Music by The Speckled Bird.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Joshua Quarles at Book House Studios, Richmond, VA.

lyrics

before the bank is closed
before the bed is dry
before you sell yourself short
you better think twice
there are a few dark corners to bear in mind
your little light you're gonna let it shine

wherever you go there you are
and you can't help but go too far
you're beside yourself and the door's a jar

bite the bullet
tighten the screws
wait a minute so i can get on my boots
cut to the chase
gonna cut it loose
gonna wait awhile
for the fault line blues

what was what it is what it will be
your determination is so lazy
a change of heart is what we both need
a good thank you sir, ma'am
pretty please

that's the sound of your heart
as it falls apart
as it breaks, the sound it makes
makes you shake
