This one is the song that I hear the most about on "Salve", believe it or not. More people have told me this is their favorite song of mine than I can remember.
This song is based on a very weird alternate tuning, that I found when I was trying to play a specific melody with open-string natural harmonics, so I just tuned the strings until I had all of the notes I needed (I think I was making a demo of the song that became "Breathe" on the Funhouse album).
lyrics
And so we’ve reached the ending
Here we are and there it goes
I lie alone in this our house
Feel the stillness pound my breath from me
Change my name now?
Cut my hair, become as new
Won’t you tell me what I should do now
As I leave today
As I leave today
Here we are… it is ending
