Shadowbread (Prototype)

about
A 2001 8-track recording made for an album I never released called Verbum Sap (most of whose songs have been released on other albums, either in their original or a re-arranged form; this one appears in a re-arranged form on the Pindrops album).

lyrics
all alone, breaking bread with my shadow here at home
away from you and all your clones
I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I lied to you: I've always told the truth
you know I've always been there for you: I've never let you down
you know me: you knew I'd never stick around
and I know you and all the things to which you're bound
and all your dreams are gone
you're like a gray sky hoping for sun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind or to hide
all your life
all alone, breaking bread with my shadow here at home
away from you and all your clones
and I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I done to you the things they used to do
you know I've always encouraged you: I've never put you down
you know me: you knew I'd never stick around
and I know you and all the things to which you're bound
all your dreams they're done
you're like a gray sky running from sun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind all your life
all alone, breaking bread with my shadow here at home
away from you and all your clones
and I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I done to you the things they used to do
you know I've always been there for you: I've never let you down
and I'm sorry, I just couldn't stick around
you know me, and all the things to which I'm bound
all your dreams are done
you're like a gray sky hoping for fun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind or to hide
all your life
away from you and all your clones
I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I lied to you: I've always told the truth
you know I've always been there for you: I've never let you down
you know me: you knew I'd never stick around
and I know you and all the things to which you're bound
and all your dreams are gone
you're like a gray sky hoping for sun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind or to hide
all your life
all alone, breaking bread with my shadow here at home
away from you and all your clones
and I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I done to you the things they used to do
you know I've always encouraged you: I've never put you down
you know me: you knew I'd never stick around
and I know you and all the things to which you're bound
all your dreams they're done
you're like a gray sky running from sun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind all your life
all alone, breaking bread with my shadow here at home
away from you and all your clones
and I'm happy just to be here on my own
so happy you're not around me anymore
and now it's me I'm living for
never have I done to you the things they used to do
you know I've always been there for you: I've never let you down
and I'm sorry, I just couldn't stick around
you know me, and all the things to which I'm bound
all your dreams are done
you're like a gray sky hoping for fun
but you'll never find what you've always tried
to leave behind or to hide
all your life
