Next to Normal, “Aftershocks”
“Hey little brother, did you hear I made it back to town? I’m getting sober, there’s some things I gotta figure out… I could have sworn there were things I used to care about. Well, I’m pleased to see you, it’s been so long. Where’ve you been since I’ve been gone?”
Heard these lyrics tonight and cried.
I won’t ask for no diamond rings, no delicate strand of pearls. That’s why you’ll write that song for me, your beautiful girl.
Pathos is born out of bullshit in formal attire.
Oh, I know how good you are, and how hard it is… How good you are.
And if I hadn’t come down to the coast to disappear, I might have died in the landslide of rocks and hopes and fears.
Falling’s not the problem; falling’s a release. It’s only when I hit the ground that causes all the grief.
Midas is king and he holds me so tight, turns me to gold in the sunlight.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me.
Bring on the wonder, we got it all wrong. I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.
