i went downtown today where everyone's got it made. i have a new haircut and a backpack, i'm falling asleep on the sidewalk - and on the back of the bus i just stare at the floor. i've been on this ride 1,000 times before. no standard of living, no decency. oh man, i've really done it this time.
i stayed in my room all day. i read a book and tried to fall asleep - missed phone calls and a misunderstanding, good intentions but always bad endings. i'm so messed up but i don't want you here. right now i feel so dumb, i feel so unaware. someone told me that light shines in from time to time, please forgive me but lately it's been hard to find.
i see you talking but i can't concentrate. i hear nothing, just you screaming that you feel something you can't explain and that feeling bad means feeling just like everyone else.
The first time I listened to this album I was an utterly unmotivated individual who spent way too much time playing skate 3 and laughing away my shortcomings in life. None of those things have changed but with that being said this album makes me feel like the perfect audience for this band and I can't wait to see them live again ellis_boyd_redding
