The Lawrence Arms - Nebraska

I own no copyright, I'm merely sharing the songs I love with others.

Lyrics:

hey mike i wish i could
help you figure something out
but it's been too long since we spoke
your sarcasm radiates unhappiness
so withdrawn and rooted deep inside

are you content at twenty seven
were you hopeful at seventeen
a void the size of oceans
stretches out between us
i guess our blood
is supposed to be a bridge
can you pull yourself up
from this self hatred
can you pull yourself up
frustrations driven you to angry dreams

let nebraska disappear
in golden flames of grain
i know you can't imagine
having company right now
there's a world of tired faces
who understand this pain
there's a better life
waiting on the outside
of these decaying walls

your bitterness doesn't surprise me
as these pointless days
go screaming by
rejected sour eyes
can't imagine blue skies
rejected sour eyes
can't imagine blue skies

i wish you could find something to live for
besides the agony
of bleeding towards the last breath
i truly believe that you want more than this
this is killing you
that what you want is very simple
somehow so complex to get
please don't hate yourself
