December - Lyrics - Unwound

Unwound was an American post-hardcore band, based in Tumwater Olympia, Washington, United States. Formed in 1991, the band consisted of Justin Trosper , Vern Rumsey , and Brandt Sandeno , all of whom had previously been in a band called Giant Henry. Brandt Sandeno quit Unwound in 1992 and was replaced by Sara Lund. This line-up would remain in place until the band's dissolution in 2002. The group was strongly associated with the label Kill Rock Stars throughout the 1990s. Unwound was sharply dissonant and angular, often resorting to unusual guitar tones, and associated with post-hardcore and noise rock. The band toured frequently, preferring "all ages" clubs and are noted for their strong DIY ethic. The group spawned numerous side projects.

I guess i had my chance, i'm told it was my obligation At dusk i held the ground and prayed for morning to come quickly That night i held your hand, together we had bits and pieces On that december night, you cried and cried and cried, but We held our lives by the whims that govern conversations We held our lives by the whims that govern conversations Wait! hold on! i'm not finished... fine! Never again! will he ruin mine December night, i'm told i had my obligations December night, i tried and tried and tried, but We held our lives by the whims that govern conversations We held our lives by the whims that govern conversations Wait! hold on! i'm not finished... fine! Never again! will he ruin mine Wait! hold on! i'm not finished... fine! Never again! will he ruin mine (when we were on we were on When we were off we were way off)
