The Litebrite's now black and white 'Cos you took apart a picture that wasn't right Pitchburning on a shiningsheet The only maker that you want to meet A dyingman in a livingroom Whose shadowpaces the floor Who'll take you out in the opendoor This is notmylife It's just a fondfarewell to a friend It's not what I'mlike It's just a fondfarewell to a friend Whocouldn't get thingsright A fondfarewell to a friend He said really I just want to dance Good and evil match perfect, it's a greatromance And I can deal with some psychicpain If it'll slow down myhigherbrain Veins full of disappearingink Vomiting in yourkitchensink Disconnecting from the missinglink This is not mylife It's just a fondfarewell to a friend It's not what I'm like I'ts just a fondfarewell to a friend Whocouldn't get thingsright A fondfarewell to a friend I see you'releavingme And taking up with the enemy The coldcomfort of the in-between A littleless than a humanbeing A littleless than a happyhigh A littleless than a suicide The only things that you really tried This is notmylife It's just a fondfarewell to a friend It's not what I'mlike It's just a fondfarewell to a friend Whocouldn't get thingsright A fondfarewell to a friend This is notmylife It's just a fondfarewell to a **friend
Lyrics due to Elliott Smith- A Fond Farwell I really understand this song, I've many of times tried to get things right and felt as if some sort of forces were working against me, it's as if someone has their hand directly on my head keeping me down in the muck. I hope that one day I could grow into a lotus and maybe then would the hand leave me.
