obscured is old because it was originally supposed to be on the lull e.p which was really supposed to be a single but they tricked me. written during gish recordings we have finished it and let it sit for 2 years and then it came out as the b side of today i in the uk. the darkland. so it was all my friends tapes and supposed to be on the next one but i swore i would never do it again re- record one of our own songs because it is lame to do so. 1991.what a year. such a pretty song, sunday in the park music chicagofest.

lost your head
now you sleep on the floor
what you said
i don't want anymore
through the haze
make your eyes up to ache
out in space
days away
through these eyes
i rely on all i've seen
obscured
through these eyes
it looks like i'm home tonight
left for dead
as you sweep out the poor
things we said
we don't mean anymore
tear inside her
like a fallen kite
ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, yeah
through these eyes
i deny on all i've seen
obscured
through these eyes
looks like i'm home tonight
what you said
made a mess of me
what you said
i don't want
obscured
