There's a pain that hangs all over this town
It seeps into all of my best friend's pores
Just like sweat & comes alive in their eyes
Well he let it cradle him into a cold panic
After his last show
He felt it's peace
and didn't question it's purpose
Until he was in
two forties deep
With his keys
Hanging like a noose
From the palm of his hand
He stared lifelessly into the sky
Shining stars over this ugly night
And pleaded with it,
stop taunting me
He said
And then he climbed into his
Tiny car like a cage
And played the reckless pawn
In the strange games
Of this awful place
He is the only one screaming
at nothing
In the front yard
But he's not the only one
Falling violently apart
Look around
Look at the hands in this room
Fidgeting desperately
Trying not to lose what's left of their
sanity
I'm tired
And I'm cold
And I don't wanna miss you anymore
You're weak
And you're bold
And you don't wanna be here anymore
