I'm staring out into that vaccum again

From the back porch of my mind

The only thing thats alive

 I'm all there is

And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw

 My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk

 You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk

 'Til then you're invisible.

'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense

And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth

I'm completely alone at a table of friends

I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing

Interlude

Well, I need a break from the city again

 I think I'll ship myself back west

 I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time."

Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent

 she's under no obligation to indulge every whim

 And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives

 And I keep forgetting it

And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe

Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind

 I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine

I have some where I die, I have some where we all die."

Interlude

Loud Part: Not sure on this part.

Goes from F#m to G#m at the end of the loud part.

I'm thinking of quitting drinking again

I know i said that a couple times

 And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am

 But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side

 And when I kneel at the toilet

 And the mornings clean light pours in through the window

Sometimes I pray I don't die

 I'm a goddamn hypocrite

But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense

 There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live

 And so I do what I do and at least I exist

 What could mean more than this?

 What would mean more?

Mean more?

Interlude

Ending finger picking, play around on this chord:

 x20200 It's essentially .

That's sort of it.
