hey mike i wish i could

help you figure something out

but it's been too long since we spoke

your sarcasm radiates unhappiness
so withdrawn and rooted deep inside



are you content at twenty seven

were you hopeful at seventeen

a void the size of oceans

stretches out between us

i guess our blood

is supposed to be a bridge

can you pull yourself up

from this self hatred

can you pull yourself up

frustrations driven you to angry dreams



let nebraska disappear

in golden flames of grain

i know you can't imagine

having company right now

there's a world of tired faces

who understand this pain

there's a better life

waiting on the outside

of these decaying walls



your bitterness doesn't surprise me

as these pointless days

go screaming by

rejected sour eyes

can't imagine blue skies

rejected sour eyes

can't imagine blue skies



i wish you could find something to live for

besides the agony

of bleeding towards the last breath

i truly believe that you want more than this

this is killing you

that what you want is very simple

somehow so complex to get

please don't hate yourself
