Flat Tire - Piece 1

The truth surprised me, snuffed in the eye three times, sprayed
The blood of attachment sideways, late one friday evening
Leaving me lost, speeding, dreaming the highway
Dazed for 20 minutes then I woke in her driveway
Broken, sulking, drowning in thought, pounding the canvas
Man this sucks, my planets crushed, I'm famished
Damaged, bust the dam, i'm crying tears, mind flying the years
And there she is on the stairs trying her fears
She gets in the car, my minds racing
Through our initial friendship, first date, and love making
Exposed, naked, then I thought of how ill I felt
When she said if she "couldn't have me she'd kill herself"
And how that weighed on my mind, and the memories of
Arguing, her mistrust and jealousy
The diving board's telling me "take a leap in the deep end"
I looked her in the eye, a single tear told her its over and she said
"Why are you doing this to me? You gonna throw away everything we had?"
And I shook my head and i'm standing there, confused
Wondering why she hadn't packed her bag
And she said "What about our future? Damn boy... we had so much plans"
I said I'm thinking 'bout our future, thought we'd done enough damage
And decided I should take it in MY hands
Two and a half years of half cheer, fear, and half mildew
Its true: the one you feel the most will be the one to kill you
So i'm taking this drive, knowing that when I arrive
It'll be our demise, goodbye to all that I despise
But sadly, goodbye to all that kept me alive though hard times
Crying, i'm dying inside, but still driving 'cause I
Common sense told me "take a leap in the deep end"
I looked her in the eye, a single tear told her its over and she said...
"Why are you doing this to me? You gonna throw away everything we had?"
And I shook my head and i'm standing there, confused, wondering why she hadn't packed her bag
And she said "What about our future? Damn boy... we had so much plans"
I said i'm thinking 'bout our future, thought we'd done enough damage
And decided I should take it in MY hands
And so we have the last one, artsy
Beautiful as fuck and the life of the party
We never had a beef, shit she'd never even start me
Re-taught me how to smile, made me forget that a heart bleeds
Lights candles at the right time, I spit she loves that shit
Throws the drama out the window, and makes love to Slint
Supports no matter what, alleviates my fears
Paints a picture of our future and appreciates i'm weird
We met in a fairytale, she woke me with a kiss
Flashed me a smile which broke me in its grip
Right down to pieces, built me back stronger
With support beams that won't rust to make us last longer
But I get a funny feeling when she goes off alone
Like i'm sick to my stomach when she talks on the phone
Ignorance told me "take a leap in the deep end"
I looked her in the eye, a single tear told her its over and she said
"Why are you doing this to me? You gonna throw away everything we had?"
And I shook my head and I said I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I woke from a dream, or is it a dream? I don't know
Broke from a chain of hope; couldn't see the rope
I fell, groped heaven, felt euphoric for a second
Then it ended with a message spoke saying, "Never hope"
I leapt from the ground to grasp the air again and feel the end
Extending my palms, smiling, sending out a call
But then I hit the ground again, grunted, punted, tried again
I never will stop hope and begging for the fall
I'm asleep again, clouds part
Streets form, I take a walk
Passed the cars and bark-less dogs
I see Eye Won but cannot talk
Turn back, hit a wall
Turn around, another wall
I'm in a room made of notebooks
I open one up and take a look
No words written so I gripped my pen
And spit the words 'tween lines but
Everything I wrote seemed like gibberish and on the page
Turned to scribbled shit but it freed my mind
The notebook disappeared and then I
Realized I just saved myself
I grabbed the other books, wrote until they all went away
Looked around the place, I was in my bed
I woke from a dream, or is it a dream? I don't know
Broke from a chain of hope; couldn't see the rope
I fell, groped heaven, felt euphoric for a second
Then it ended with a message spoke saying, "Never hope"
I leapt from the ground to grasp the air again and feel the end
Extending my palms, smiling, sending out a call
But then I hit the ground again, grunted, punted, tried again
I never will stop hope and begging for the fall
I'm asleep again, clouds part
Street forms, there she is
Kissed my lips, took my hand
Took a walk, to happiness
Passed the exes and regrets
All the fuck ups and the fears
Wouldn't leave, they followed us
The more we ran, the more they neared
So I grabbed some branches built a fence
So we could smile in peace
But exes and regrets busted through the fence
Wouldn't leave, so I built some walls with a door to escape
The door lead us to a room with paintings and her tapestries
We saw it was our house, held each other with a smile
Then I looked around the place and I was in my bed
I woke from a dream, or is it a dream? I don't know
Broke from a chain of hope; couldn't see the rope
I fell, groped heaven, felt euphoric for a second
Then it ended with a message spoke saying, "Never hope"
I leapt from the ground to grasp the air again and feel the end
Extending my palms, smiling, sending out a call
But then I hit the ground again, grunted, punted, tried again
I never will stop hope and begging for the fall
