say
goodbye to the year things fell apart
as beginnings go let's call that one a false start
we could use some education
we could use some thought control
to help us pull ourselves out of this hole
adios to the poster year of down
sayonara to all energy vampires and clowns
no more arsonists above us
or arseholes down below
you say things could get worse but I don't know...
no, say goodbye
say
goodbye to the year things fell apart
not between us though and, doubtless,
that's the best part
this was just our maiden voyage
not the shape of things to come
it's kind of blue right now but not for long
no,
say goodbye

how
could such an angel be struck with such pain
especially so early on in the game
sense, it makes none
and wisdom, it won't impart
but still you make it hard to have a heavy heart
others
might crumble under the weight
but i watch you carry it every day
i couldn't love you any more Nate
so let's take this bad thing and throw it away
a
medal for your courage and everything you faced
a medal for your parents and all of their strength
if this was a test, you didn't just pass
you kicked its sorry ass,
and now you're the top of the class
something
in your blood is trying to bring you down
but knowing you I know that nothing ever will
there's always been something magical surrounding you
and it surrounds you still
smile
for the camera, show us your new moves
there's a lot about living we could learn from you
and I know we can't make up for lost time
but if we start right now, we can give it a try

flushed,
flushed away
with the chill there but not brutal
and the sky with sun chalk white
and some scent or cast of shadow to remind me
of some place
to
and explored, and now that devoir is finished
i turn again to the details you were kind enough to send
imagine all the pain of envy and desire in my heart
in my heart
will
the likes of such ever be encountered
unless someone deep into the future let's me teach
doubtful it's all on...
ah, but such details are all for another day
i
trust you to keep up the chase
for that which appears to be farther and farther away
as you desire the frustration
that which once struck will sustain
