I can't help staring at the sun
though I've been told I shouldn't look so long
I can't help thinking what went wrong
and I'm staring at what I could have done
and it's got me going blind
thinking how you've gone
I've been
breathing deeper
looking farther off
than I ever have
Asking questions to the universe
or great whatever
or whatever
I don't want to ask
I'm so uncomfortable
getting used to
the idea
you're not coming back
and it's got me going blind
thinking how you've gone
Pins and needles
are all feel
and it chills me to the bone
It's finally settled in
you're not coming home
I often wonder
where you could have gone
I hope you're not alone
I hope you feel better
You've got me whipping shitties
just for kicks in the parking lot
avoiding my work
wasting time I haven't got
Staring at the sun
so long
So long
I guess the trick is
these days
is not to get too overwhelmed
I'm trying not to think so much
and not to think too much about myself
Just to keep from going bling
now that you have gone
