Dave Melillo - “Knights of the Island Counter”

I’ve got some problems, but we’ve got ten dollars
That’s enough to get us wasted before the night is over
These past five days I’ve been completely sober
But tonight I’m getting ripped wide open

this is another one of those songs that was kind of hard to record. it includes a couple lines that, though simplistic, proved to be a little much for me at times.“now I’m haunted by all these holes found in my armor / and if my heart beats any harder - I will lose it”. I guess I just felt that it revealed too much of myself. or maybe I write about other people so often that when the time comes to be introspective I become offended or even hurt by the things I try and cover up. whatever the reason, I’m glad I finished, because it’s turned into one of my favorite lines on the whole album. in a positive way.
you can listen to the rest of the album right here.

don’t call me at all
it’s not that I don’t have words to say
I just don’t want to be the one that speaks them
I’d rather keep it secret until we reach it
so I’ll rest my head on the glory of this sorrow
I know its hard to swallow, but tomorrow
we’ll start new

and I remember the lines I thought that I’d forgotten
“your only flaw is that you’re flawless”
I’m so full of shit, I’m surprised you bought it
but to say that I don’t care is more or less astounding
because I wrote an entire album about us drowning
wasn’t that enough?

now I’m haunted by all these holes found in my armor
and if my heart beats any harder I will lose it
well congratulations, I didn’t know
you two had made things so official
just don’t call me when it fizzles
in fact, don’t call me at all.
