was about to tell the truth
but it turned into something different
that made all my pursuits lead down
scape routes I never wanted
from the first ticket to the last
rejected would equal haunted
always wanted to be
a hole without the ass
a glow without a past

could've been a long ago afternoon
could've been
someone who came close enough
to bring misfortune

did I hear a sigh
Well, I don't mind
don't we all pull, drag a darkening
bored past behind
from the first ticket to the last
I always knew you'd manage
to trace some of the damage
back to this
back to me

could've been a long, low humming out of tune
moving slowly across the room
could be the best and worst in me
agreed to follow, to take it on
could've been a long, low humming out of tune
moving slowly from room to room
could be the best and worst in me
agreed to follow, to take it on
