Early versions of Counterfeit Here are two or three older drafts of the words that became the song-in-progress "Counterfeit". The first is the short poem as I originally scribbled it out: They couldn't stay alone at home,
And caring for the sick until they finish
And here is the angry, not-rhyming-properly version as recorded in a demo May 12th: They couldn't face their selves alone,
Counterfeits, liars, cheats,
They couldn't wait another day,
They couldn't risk to lose their minds -
Counterfeits, liars, cheats,
E pluribus unum that we once swore,
Counterfeits, liars, cheats,
We all did what we could... 5/5/21 Demo - 2021 05 12
