Off Greg Weeks 2001 release, “Awake Like Sleep” is this very personal and slightly disturbing tale of pain. Think Elliot Smith with a Moog and Mellotron.

His song “Made” was featured in the “Pink” adicolor video, which was directed by Charlie White.
Lryics
“Made”
A silence a sway/
A gesture a wild sashay/
Can make your today/
And then take it all away/
They made us this way/
For what they can never say/
Sent us on our way/
It’s useless to make them pay/
Holding ground
“Just live for today”/
‘Least that’s what they try and say/
They say “Pay, pay, pay/
And we’ll take your pain away/
Holding ground
So much for today/
So much for the days of May/
So much is passe/
Please just make it fade away/
Update: This song was also featured on Weeds (Showtime) at the end credits.
