about: This is the original demo cut of Acrobat. And if Terra Firma had been delayed a little bit longer, I bet I would have put this track on there. The final version of Acrobat ended up on Drunken Sailors.

For the summer of 2006, I had wanted to put out an EP with Acrobat, Start to Finish, and Connect the Dots on it. The EP never happened, and only Acrobat landed itself on a full-length.

Even though this is oh-so-close to Terra Firma era, I suppose you could call it the start of the Drunken Sailors recording session.
lyrics: When I try to sing
there’s this lump stuck in my throat
from swallowing
the day too hard.

I can’t bring it back up;
sometimes I feel it’ll never go away–
like I just can’t
live with it.

well, Chris once told me
“we’ll always want more,
but as long as we can be
happy with what we’ve got
it’s fine.”

And I’d love to live
believing him this time,
because he’s just so right.

So I’m training myself
to not take this for granted again.
I’ll be an acrobat,
’cause this time I may not have a net;
and if I fall, imagine just
the cold concrete instead.
The cold concrete instead.

So I’m trying real hard
not to worry myself sick,
wind up spending all
these days in bed.

And I know it’s you all
that’ll pull me through–
’cause spring’s here now,
so i feel like,

well, it’s gotta mean something to me
in this chain of events:
’cause your smile’s got my mind set on
being free.

Like a hacksaw cutting through these days.
And, I think that’s all I need.

So I’m training myself
to not take this for granted again.
I’ll be an acrobat.
And this time I may not have a net,
so if i fall, imagine just
the cold concrete instead.
The cold concrete instead.
