I woke up in the morning
And I'd dreamt of taking acid
And everything seemed lucid
For a while
Then my brother called
And told me he was going
To a country far away
In the evening, In the evening
And my chest felt heavy
And my wrists swelled up with imaginary bruises
We said goodbye for a while
Then I stood in the rain smoking
Even though I know it only
Makes thinks worse
I talked to Talia and Katie on my phone for a while
And I felt at home but I knew that I wasn't
I wasn't really
I'd never really be home for a lot of years still to come
So I'll play
My gameboy
To forget
To remember
How to cheat
My way
Through life
So I'll play
My gameboy
To forget
To remember
How to cheat
My way
Through life
Again
