"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me Lip Parade
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory

And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

    wow... halfway through reading this, I wanted to comment on it, thinking it would mean something. I thought I would be the only one, but thats because of how rare it is for anyone on the internet to be anything but cruel. I see that its far from the case, people can treat each other with respect and appreciate what they say. I think you nailed it... the best and worst moments. we all have a story to tell. me, 4 months ago I discovered a brain tumor. I was in a relationship with this girl for six years. I knew from the start she simply didn't want to deal with it. it was an obligation to her. I let her go, which was one of the hardest choices I have had to make. but all I am trying to say is... it doesnt matter. at some point we will be able to look at all of our shit with clarity we never imagined. thats what I think it is about. we cant prevent anything, but nor should we want to.
