these are the lyrics to the song United Cigar by Good Riddance.. this song's meant a lot to me over the past 9 months or so, and I just wanted to share it. These are from memory.. so if it's jacked up.. sorry.
Reason is gone
This brain is out of practice
Thinking is alien
It's alien to me
The day through
The lights are off
And I'm alone again
Electrons comfort me
Television is my only friend
There was a time when I swore
This would never...
Happen to me
I look for inspiration
Like I've done so many times
There's something missing here
I can't define
Would you like to go
To a place inside my head?
Or would you like to watch me
Fall asleep instead?
Indecision, television
Takes me mind away
Growing stronger
How much longer
Will things be this way?
I look at my close friends
They wear expression of concern
They don't want me to forget
All that they think I've learned
I explain my situation but
Why can't they see?
Friday's just another night for me
Indecision, television
Takes my mind away
Growing stronger
How much longer?
Will things be this way?
Now there's a feeling that I get
When I'm at peace with all I see
And it's a rare time that I spend
With no one else around but me
These moments are so precious now
Getting better just like wine
But wine won't make me happy
There was a time I thought
It would, I thought it could,
I thought it should
Now turned around,
I'm looking down
There's nothing there
But I can still see myself
A lonely boy
The day is through
The lights are off
And I'm alone again
Electrons comfort me
Television is my only friend
There was a time when I swore..
This would never...
Happen to me.
