My friend,
have you forgotten me?
I waited here for hours,
I just can't stand to leave.
Oh, I thought that you'd return
with some sort of exasperated plea.
But night is falling fast,
And it's getting hard to see.
Somewhere in New Jersey
There's a guy who plays guitar.
I spoke with him for hours
About god and where you are.
Oh, I'm sorry Billy, I just can't seem to find him here tonight.
So I'll remain here on the bleachers,
And watch all of you pray.
So brother-
these rocks, they are knives.
They've sunk deep in my bones, and you turn them like they're keys.
I'm under-
this ring around the moon.
It's like a crown of thorns,
or some poor ushered excuse.
Intoxicated;
Your mind's a little hazed.
You've walked around in circles,
in your head for days.
Oh, your running low on time, my friend. Could you please get out of here?
You've spent your teenage years alone in there and you're breaking from the fear.
There's a lonely native woman,
She's trapped in 302.
Her child bit the bullet,
Swallowed like a pill.
Now she wastes her days in isolation, begging for an end,
Because when he died, he took with him, all her will to live.
I'm sorry-
My friends, you are the same.
You're suffering within,
And aching from the pain.
It's morning-
Yet you're only just laying down
You've been up all night, apologizing for not telling the truth.
I'm sorry-
There's nothing I can do
I've tried and failed, I'm catching hell
I'm stuck here just like you
So drive-
Leave here while you can.
Gahanna bound, or wherever else
you see fit to live
