Story:

After the show Max and Charlie go their separate ways.
Later that night Charlie gets a call from Max.
Max tells Charlie how he met another time traveler, and that she is amazing. He said that the two of them had the best conversation Max has ever had, and there was just something about her that he couldn’t explain. Something special.
He tells Charlie he had never been in love before, but he thinks that might be what he’s feeling now. He tells him that her name is Vickie.
Charlie hangs up on him.
Charlie ignores Max’s calls until 5:23.
When that time comes, Charlie calls Max and is entirely unsurprised that Max has no idea who Charlie is, and has no memory of ever time traveling.
Charlie wants to feel happy for Vickie and Max. He wants to feel hope that they are now going toward a better future. He wants to feel these things, but he can’t. He is once again left alone with his self-loathing and all he feels is lonely, bitter, and depressed.
He decides that it’s time for harder drugs.
He mouths off to a shady drug dealer is some dark corner and gets shot in the head at 1:34 a.m.. He dies at 1:35 a.m..
At 5:23 he learns he isn’t allowed die.



Lyrics:

I can’t do anything. No one is 'round to make me sing. My friend is gone. And now he's just a puppet, playing out better days the strings of fate won't let him change. So let me sink into a pool of chlorine, let me drink until I cannot think so I can drown out that false memory of just exactly what you meant to me.

If all this is a joke, a pre-death movie made to make me sick, then fuck it I don't care,
though I still hope that you’re out there somewhere,
but I need a break so I'll keep an eye out for that Audrey, though I may feel tawdry.
I think it’s time that I finally let go.
Filling myself with vices I'll enjoy the show.

I can't do anything. She ain't here and I might as well not exist. What kind of life am I leading? Is time just wounded and bleeding?

Fuck you!
This isn't weed!
It's oregano!
