The Litebrite's now black and white
'Cos you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch  burning on a shining  sheet
The only maker that you want to meet
A dying  man in a living  room
Whose shadow  paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open  door
This is not  my  life
It's just a fond  farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm  like
It's just a fond  farewell to a friend
Who  couldn't get things  right
A fond  farewell to a friend
He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil match perfect, it's a great  romance
And I can deal with some psychic  pain
If it'll slow down my  higher  brain
Veins full of disappearing  ink
Vomiting in your  kitchen  sink
Disconnecting from the missing  link
This is not my  life
It's just a fond  farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
I'ts just a fond  farewell to a friend
Who  couldn't get things  right
A fond  farewell to a friend
I see you're  leaving  me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold  comfort of the in-between
A little  less than a human  being
A little  less than a happy  high
A little  less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not  my  life
It's just a fond  farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm  like
It's just a fond  farewell to a friend
Who  couldn't get things  right
A fond  farewell to a friend
This is not  my  life
It's just a fond  farewell 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.
