As the days creep by and true boredom sets in, so does true depression. The emptiness of everything is overwhelming. The yawning maw that parades around as an existence is an infinite black hole, absorbing all notion of significance and meaning. To some people this is just a feeling, but Charlie knows this is a fact.
The one glimpse he had of the possibility something more was years ago. He thinks about Audrey daily.
He reeks of his own insignificance, just like everyone else. The only difference is that he is aware of it.
He drinks and smokes a lot.
Lyrics:
And looking through through this unconscious abyss, this endless drive from future burning skies. And an ache that never went away, my hope filled pain I pray will stay. Yet still you are my ache, my longing, a joke that maybe could never mean anything. I am laughing as glass rains down this last thought I will fall with.
To live for you is my life wasted in melancholy. So Audrey please let me be, it's you I still can't see. And if I have to see another boring day can I at least be with you? Or am I still left sitting, watching, eating lots of pizza, staring out the window, hoping to find the one. And waiting, always waiting.
Now I'm scared of running out of time into a wall of nothing, but hey that's fine. Guess time don't mean shit so fuck it, maybe I won't quit.
As I shot back fire and chased it with memory, I spat out any chance of saving me. And I left you there, locked in a corner of my mind. While I'm red eyed and wrecked, I hope your doing fine.
But I still can't drown you out.
Wish I could know you like the back of my hand. Or is it knew? I still can't understand why time is leaking, and I'm a grain of sand.
