The plains between us are only spatial We find our own ways to get by You have the Red Trees and I have the water Getting drunk's the new/old getting high And I had a dream once that we ate some acid Nothing was moving behind your eyes And then in the distance, a black dawn rising This is what happened when I died No way to fix what is broken You must have thought I was joking In a different life we connected But in this life we've said good-bye

Sometimes I don't know what to say About living in this city I think it's fine but my friends outside are always giving me pity I don't know why 'cause it's not so bad There's lots of Java Moose Coffee I've got my bands and a decent job ...and did I mention that coffee Ultra Linear Dependencies They're what keep me grounded Sometimes make me wanna flee Sometimes I feel like I've fucked it up I've stolen someone elses life This is not my beautiful home That's not my beautiful wife But it's too late to give it back I'm stuck on this one way track, bud Where will it end friend? Where will it end Fred? Ultra Linear Lifestyles of the bored I can't dig complacency But I'm gettin' old I'm getting old I woke up this morning... Wall paper droops from the walls of the life I used to lead Condemned and no more fun, for anyone but me Tried my best to define myself, without making you bleed Now I know that's impossible, and that's why I must leave I'm gone

Her name was Laura she worked at the bank the first time I saw her I was filling my tank I think that she liked me 'cause the way that I danced I saw her laugh when I spilled gas on my pants As luck would have it later on the next night I saw her at Peppers standing in candle light I smiled at her and she smiled at me We made breakfast next day by her kitchen sink Just when I thought that the world was wilting There she was with her curly brown hair With High-top Chucks and a bottle of Pinot We'll be fine while the world despairs Comfortable reading by her fire place The look of true love spread across her face and we're both in this together She's my Dark n Stormy Weather Saturday nights and we're both on the go I've got my concert she's got her art show Different cities couldn't keep us apart Text messages are tethered to our hearts Sunday morn' we'll be together again We laugh about all the shit that happened She'll work on a painting as I play my guitar Make love for an hour then just stare up at the stars Just when I thought I was disappearing There she came in her Volks TDI She excepted my flaws with understanding didn't laugh at my fear of dying She wanted to travel the United States The look of true love spread across my face and we're both in this forever She's the June to my September Well as we got older think she started to bore She slept with my best friend and I called her a whore She made me move out I went to live with my folks They kept me laughing telling lots of bad jokes I got an apartment with my brother's friend Scott It didn't have curtains always smelled like pot I got a new job and I got some new friends End of this song's where my new life begins Just when I thought things were comfortable Left me alone in this fucked up world She is gone and yet I remain Can't believe I haven't gone insane She's gone from my life now without a trace The look of acceptance spread across my face yeah we're in this world alone yeah we're all in this alone I fuckin' shot him

Distracted I'm distracted all the time Divided Like the highways on which I drive Dilated Sleep stare view through blackened eyes Negated Ignore me so I can never Die I cannot go to school or I will be killed Decisions I've made bad decisions, with my life Divorcing I got married much too young. Or at all. Disasters Waiting for the other shoe to fall Neglected I can't do anything at all. Without. Terrible things are happening
