about

Vague & pretty. Just the way I like 'em (my concept album closers, that is). If such an album existed, I'm sure I would write & release a cash-cow sequel a few years down the line, in which we'd find out that our hero(es) have kicked the habit again and are living picket fence lives. Maybe in Clemmons?

lyrics

I got the green light to get it right
I got permission to rocket completely out of sight
All that I am
And everything that I wanted to be
It's locked inside
It's buried deep underneath

I always tried to believe in you
You left the party when you found out the things I said were true
All that you are
And everything that you thought you could be
It's washed away
It might as well be carried to sea

We've had our fun, but now it's done
So many battles that they say could not be won
All that we were
And everything that they thought we should see
Ashes to ashes, I say
Just stand back and let it be

The past will remain
But it will never reign
