She said I miss it. I used to kiss it. Now she burns it off, And she won't listen. Told her, "I love her". She said, "recover". Now our lives have split right off From one another. The money's gone, But I'll move on. It's pickin' tunes and moonshine all night long But I can't complain 'Cuz no heavy rain Can drown what's left Of this young reckless brain And where are the answers? I search and curse the Earth and find only cancer And how did I go nowhere? I circle first my hurt 'til I just don't care. I circle first my hurt, and now I've come right back around to you. Said this is it, Cross it off the list, Things from here on out are gonna be different. But then night fell, And I could just smell Those sins slither up From those dark wells I play the fool, Break my own rules, Tomorrow's sorrows always come too soon. What can I say? There's just no way To feed your needs and please your higher brain. So I am back up on that ride, Even if I did not decide. I just can't wait to arrive, Air so fair when you're up that high. To look around upon the ground, From up above is such a rush. To not know how you'll make it down Is somewhat ugly, but you must. And where are the answers? I search and curse the Earth and find only cancer. And how did I go nowhere? I circle first my hurt 'til I just don't care. I circle first my hurt, and I've come right back around to you.

Think I'm done crying now Been on the floor for an hour now Think I'll get me a smoke And make me a joke to make someone laugh The bed's too big and I'm gettin' cold There's no one to stop me when I roll Down, onto the floor I wake, wait and listen For someone's laugh Someone's laugh Puts me at ease Someone's laugh A cool sweet breeze A warm bath Someone's laugh Jam my thumb with a pickle jar Using it to start my car Would've worked if I had A wire and match And someone's laugh Talk to myself as I'm walkin home I turn to realize I wasn't alone A stranger's strange face In the perfect place For someone's laugh Someone's laugh Puts me at ease Someone's laugh A cool sweet breeze A warm bath Someone's laugh I think I'm done crying now Been on the floor for an hour now I still got me some hope And lots of jokes And someone's laugh I still got me some hope And lots of jokes And someone's laugh

about

A collection of odds and ends, things that either never developed into more than what they're presented as here, or became so drastically different that the documentation of their genesis struck me as worth sharing.
