a tightness in the chest
and take another step
the crowd parting ways
see you up on the stage
you spoke into the sky
the sun hitting your eyes
a moment so divine
i swear i nearly died
and count another day
without your perfect face
a redundant chase
for your otherworldly grace
i must be an ant down here
but you are the brightest star
the way you smile for me
shines for a mile at least

the sunny state of california
before you go i just gotta warn ya
nothing's like it ever seems
my visions were of broken dreams
i'm switching off my phone forever
i'm flying to a land down under
my vision of a sunny future
i won't be a pot abuser
where there's warmth there's clarity
a coastal town right by the sea
i'm ditching my anxieties
a surfboard will do fine for me
i heard the lsd is of premium quality
the waves on the beach flow straight into all my dreams
i heard the lsd is of perfect quality
the dolphins in the sea are swimming down my street
i won't be a lifeless stoner
i'll say goodbye to arizona
i'm sleeping with an organ donor
who helped me find my long lost boner
i'm switching off my computer
i'm flying to australia
'cause my vision of a sunny future's
brighter than my monitor
i heard the lsd is of premium quality
the waves on the beach flow straight into all my dreams
i heard the lsd is of perfect quality
the dolphins in the sea are swimming down my street
when i take the acid my brain goes flaccid
when i take the acid my dreams are shattered

i watch your nervous, skinny hands grind out a cigarette
the trapdoor architect has risen from the past
the empty bar is dimly lit and you are hardly here
i got a hunch i know exactly what you've done
hey man, did i tell you what it's like?
i was a kid myself, they came to take me
that day, those screams hear 'em every night
took what was left of a boy's life
take what i know is my whole life.
i hear that train coming every night

breathe in the smoke
you're not really leaving, are you?
tell me that it's just a joke
wait a second
oh God, don't go
you're so lucky
with that money
i coulda got a fucking hit
for fifteen dollars
could be fooling myself
feel higher than
heaven or hell

when i was a man
i would listen to the thing i called a plan
not thinking bout how the day would end
the window was my only friend
how i'd sit in vain
pitying myself beside the rain
living outside the pictureframe
in a beautiful shade of gray
sometimes i would go outside
hoping everyone would die
hoping that a thousand flies
would eat their rotting corpse alive
now when i step out the door
i wish it was just like before
when all there was for me to ask for
was misery and nothing more
i'm left to be uncertain
as a repossessed curtain
a naked window pane
has let in all the shame
a naked window pane
has flooded with the shame
when i drink with her
the joy i feel replaces all the hurt
i'd kill for her to be my girlfriend
but her heart is with another man
how i'd let her know
that in the moonlight she really seems to glow
as i'm cursing the goddamn status quo
hating that i have to let her go
sometimes i would go outside
wishing she was not alive
wishing for a lucky life
where i don't have to get so high
as i'm passed out on the floor
i can hear the distant snores
of a charismatic junkie whore
it's not a fact i can ignore
i'm left to be uncertain
as a repossessed curtain
a naked window pane
has let in all the shame
a naked window pane
has flooded with the shame

saw you in the street last week
you flipped me off
i had cut off your supply
i was sick of watching you die
it was your birthday
i think last Thursday
i said to grow up
while you were throwing up
they found you on the toilet
your hair covered in shit
it was a public toilet
where you failed to slit your wrists
i always told you
it's down the road
but i know why you did it
across the street
but you won't admit it
so you'll never get it
i will just flush it
until you lose it
you'll never make it

what i saw
02:29

|
i said i was going to a friend's
you knew i wasn't really going there
so you said you'd also go up to your friend's
and i knew you weren't really going there
so i left the dog some food
and i trailed your beat-up ute
didn't drive no familiar route
stopped in secluded woods
what i saw was out of this world
no word of mouth would make it stop
what i saw was straight from hell
wish i hadn't followed you at all
what i saw was out of this world
had no clue what i was in for
no word of mine would make it stop
wish i hadn't followed you at all
