Ash Filled Coaster

When the music stopped I felt the air
Chill my skin
Hurt like ten thousand needles at the same time
Biting and injecting the disease of the mind
One simple discretion and the day goes by
Screaming and cursing in a high pitched whine
Drawing the attention of the neighborhood girls
Who peak out their windows just to see what is wrong
Hoping they can catch something worth watching
A story to recall the very next day
By the lockers, and the street lamps, all those miles away

I crept towards a dream that wasn't there
Dropped off in south Florida where the weather was warm
But it still wouldn't help with this feeling I wear
Emotions coming out of their easy chair
Waging war with the peaceful things
That help to ease back and shoot the breeze
But now all of my friends have seen the times
And sure they are gone, yeah, that is sublime
What choice did I have, I can't chase
No, I can't chase

I watched the wall as it became bare
Sitting alone on a broken chair
Waiting for something new to break
Just so I'd have something else to pretend to fix

And as sure as seasons are to cycles
I know the sum of the truth
It came all bundled in plastic
But the return label was ruined
All I know is what I saw
The letters were as you would draw
And out came pouring the faintest hint
Of lilacs and honey

But you be sure to know what's real
You don't exist when I don't think of you
Oh what a bad idea it'd be
To call you up, just to ask and see
If you missed me, well, I know you don't
Which is why I said I'm never coming back
No no no, that's why I said I'm never coming back

The truth is just for a stranger
A new person on the street
Here, this is my life story
Please oh please will you take care of it
