From Afar [May 09]

From afar he looks happy he looks glad
but you cant quite imagine the trouble hes had
fram afar he says little, obeserving everything
taking notes on everything, and searching for an amphetamine
from afar he wont tell you what it is
theres hatred and love that have come to this
from afar he looks smart, looks happy
but the labrynth of his soul you cant see
From afar.

now up close you see the shattered pane of glass
you see the hatred that would have lasted
and the mountain he once scaled
along with the blood he left in trails
all the hatred he doesnt wish you shared
now up close, we get a little scared

now in reverse the past is fine
there was never a place for him to dine
never a sky for him to fall from
or false hope to instill in new trust
and she never slept without him in that bed
and never fucked up and told the lies she said
and they never strayed from his loyal embrace
and he never did any of those drugs those days
and she never left and lied to his face
and he never fucked up waht he thought was grace
and his friends never left so fast
and he never spend all of that useless cash
for everyone thougth that he would last
and he never tried to leave everyone so fast
except this all did happen... in the past
we dont let it repeat iself, dont even ask
little of it remains, and friends have changed
the past is rougth waters but it stays the same
and somehow he learned to swim, and he beat the game.
