When we were kids we used to go and play in the woods My cousin Danny he would wander off if he could Gave me a feeling in my deep gut, tried to brush it off but Even at eleven I think I understood The kid was looking for a world that he would never find Trying to match the beauty that he saw in his mind When he was looking for that divine kind, walking upon the fine line Ghost in the blind side, couldn’t see but I tried And when I would sleep over we’d stay up all night Yea, on sleeping bags we’d talk of everything in sight I would fall asleep with him awake and drift off to his voice ringing Sitting in the dark, staring out the window, always singing [Chorus] Beyond the skyline’s where I want to go When this world has got me low Where the neon in my spine lets my body glow All my love it shows Then we got older, he got bit by the bug Danny went and got himself addicted to drugs Conversations always mucked up, his eyes are always fucked up I’d start to see his future just spun out on the rug And he’d start to keep his door locked all of the time Excuses now are coming out rehearsed and refined Like “it’s only the second time. At the point it’s all benign Another way I can unwind. Recline, line, and feel sublime.” I tried to call him out, said “Like I don’t know You got this pain pumping through your blood that you won’t show" And I was instantly cut off For the things he’d cut up, his body would run off [Chorus] Then one day I got the call from the back of my mind With Danny’s mom crying on the other line And I had no way to mask it at the open casket Shattered like a stained glass cosmic design And I can’t pick up the pieces to make sense of it all I just stay awake at night and bang my head on the wall Trying to tell myself that it wasn’t my fault But then my head caterwauls and the time it just stalls Back to when he would talk about his ideal world Got the perfect binary, good and bad don’t swirl I would roll my eyes and shut the door, now every night I’m looking for The words I should have told him, maybe I could find them [Chorus]
