I'm going back to a happy place
All my life I've lived to taste
Someone else's flavors on my tongue

Cherry take me back to the start of it all
Where everyone's up then everyone falls
Almost could destroy me with her kiss

Oh, I wish that I could feel
And I feel too real
For this grey moat
And me, I'm drifting like the sun
Down on everyone, the TV sky

Save me
Come and save me
Come on touch me
Come on and touch me
Come on hold me
Come on and hold me
I live my life for something I can't see
Let me take you in my summer dream

The phrase "TV sky" has always reminded me of the opening line of Neuromancer: "The sky over the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
