about

This song was actually written in my parent's basement in 1999, and was first recorded and released on my first Steel Star Experiment album in 2003. I changed the lyrics a bit to fit the material of this record, as well as update the sentiment of the song. The song is really about getting way too drunk, saying something you regret, trying to get back together with that old flame, and passing out dead drunk in her front yard at 6AM on a Sunday. It happened.

lyrics

A lifetime wasted, or so it seemed. Full of misplaced aggression and unfulfilled dreams. When will I be spared the pretense? Where will I come to know the truth? These madly written and poorly constructed plots have become my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Where did innocence go, did we leave it all behind? Where did my friends go, did they leave me hanging dry? Where did my sanity go, did I finally get too high? Where did my pants go, did I leave them with my ride? First snow, once again alone. I give too much just to watch it go. A slow hope just begins to grow. I think too much not to see it show. A new dawn appearing overhead; I think that I should probably get to bed. I'm trying to make things right, I don't want to get into any fights. The bottom of the barrel has finally shown me the light. Where did innocence go, did we leave it all behind? Where did my friends go, did they leave me hanging dry? Where is the booze at, I think I'm here to stay. I probably shouldn't, but I'm going to anyway. Quiet lawn, no one knows I'm here. I hope that your neighbor is alright with me out there.
