Recorded in Dan's living room. Named for heroine in anime show from the 1990s. Written on piano in one sitting late at night. Vocals conjured up extreme vocal strains. Kris sang, too.
lyrics
How can you look me in the eye
You broke this thing its yours to burn
You promised you promised you promised
A million times a million flowers
And all of the places you return
You nestled up in my parents home
You promised you promised you promised
But I won’t swallow anymore
And I can’t keep waiting No I can’t keep waiting
For the dead to come home for the dead to come home
When do you run to when you’re gone
The phone calls have all trickled off
A hundred thousand miles an hour
Inhaled into broken bones
Emma was a waitress sweet and kind
But her heart went to a different life
I drove for hours and hours and hours
And couldn’t eat the food I’d brought
Its only a few thousand yards to the goal
But you can’t fight the feeling that eats at your core
Its only a few thousand days to the end
That pushes through phases to break and to bend.
