about

For my best friend Henry, 1991 - 2005.

lyrics

What kind of life would you have led?
Bound for the big time, bound to a hospital bed?
The younger you are, the sooner you start sewing back the holes in your heart.
Downstairs they break for Thanksgiving dinner.
Cashing in chips, picking out prizes.
I've cut my losses, I've been losing for years.
It's pouring out both of my ears.
If I've not been found, or if I've not been feeling,
If my pores are slick with morphine from the holes in my ceiling,
If I'm not alive, but they keep me breathing, pull the plug on me.
I bet you're driving home alone.
I bet you're interstates from fathoming.
I bet you're stuck in traffic.
I bet your eyes are watering.
I know I'm not driving, but I spend my weekends in one of four lanes in indefinite direction on eastern bound interstates, driving from home to you and back again.
Here you lay slowly drifting to sleep on age old sofas with a TV for company.
Shaking in your shoes.
My god, what have I done to you?
