reason is gone   this brain is out of practice   thinking is alien   it's alien to me      the day is through the lights are off and i'm alone again   electrons comfort me the television is my only friend      there was a time that i swore   this would never happen to me      i look for inspiration like i've done so many times   there's something missing here i can't define   would you like to come to a place inside my head   or would you like to watch me fall asleep instead      indecision, television   takes my mind away   growing stronger how much longer   will things be this way      i look at my close friends they wear expressions of concern   they don't want me to forget all that they think i've learned   i've explained my situation but why can't they see   friday's just another night for me      now there's a feeling that i get when i'm at peace with all i see   and it's a rare time that i spend with no one else around but me   these moments are so precious now   getting better just like wine   but wine won't make me happy      there was a time i thought it would   i thought it could i thought it should   now turned around i'm looking down   there's nothing there but i can still   see myself a lonely boy
