John Frusciante - Time Runs Out
Album: The Will To Death (2004)
The Will to Death is the fifth studio album by John Frusciante, released on June 22, 2004 on Record Collection. The album reached #36 on the Top Independent Albums chart.
Frequent collaborator Josh Klinghoffer appears, performing drums, bass, and keyboard.
In 2004 Frusciante announced that he would produce six albums during a six month break from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with The Will to Death being the first of these. Following the long and costly recording of his previous album, Shadows Collide With People, Frusciante decided to experiment with recording music quickly and in a minimalist fashion, performing a maximum of two takes per track.
Frusciante has stated that the album is intended to be "the opposite of Shadows Collide With People": "On The Will to Death, I thought it would be a good idea to make a record with very little backing vocals, because we'd done it so much on Shadows. I always have to have a new idea for each album. For The Will to Death, the idea was to have very little backing vocals. There's a lot of other huge differences. In every way, I wanted the opposite of Shadows. "

Lyrics:
I didn't lose you
In those fights I fought
I don't owe anyone
I've been sleeping all night
These times I recall
They came out
They came clean
I've been asleep
On top of myself
I was born in the morning
I died at night
I was found in a mirror, baby
They couldn't get me out
In these times, time runs out
It runs out...
Daydreams run along her
Feelings are goners
I've been sleeping
Once for a-a-all a-a-all
Mirrors are water, hey
A symbol of what death is not (aah aah)
Catch my meaning
Once for a-a-all a-a-all
I'm the ceiling
I'm the w-a-a-a-ll
You can't stand inside with me
The reverse of me is where you must be
In truth's place it li-i-i-ies
The mistakes you try-y-y-y-
Someone must be sleeping because all is quiet
Is there nothing in the mirror when you shut the light
The dark
The light
The dark
The light
