about

The coin toss between reality and oblivion gets loaded when you do. There are days when one's soul is the weather that the clime forgot how to have.

lyrics

(Verse 1)

I'm standing on the bridge tonight, and I don't feel so good
I'm thinking that I've lost my mind; I hope it's gone for good
And I know... that I'm not well; but that's all right
And I'm... someone else tonight; and I'm flailing with all my might
Oh... dear....

(Chorus)

California Winters are colder on my spine
Than on any hill or valley; the trees hold autumn's sign
But I rain... Ice and Snow
There's no need to tell me, dear, because I just know

(Verse 2)

I can smell it fall apart; it's something in the calm
A blizzard that would never fall... It's Leonard Cohen's Psalm
And it's dry... but I'm drowning, on the bedroom floor
And it's... just a fracture more; and I'm forced to implore
My Dear

CHORUS

(Bridge)

Listen can you hear the whistle wail?
I'm standing on the ties between the rails;
Just make it quick...
I don't want to hear my bones echo and click, in the crash
As my bottle hits the waves below the bridge, with a splash you could dream

(Verse 3)

The midnight train through Valley springs has passed and I'm alive
I'm not quite sure if that's a win, or if I've been deprived
I just don't... want to feel at all; can I just fade?
Because I... have thrice been sore betrayed; I lay in the bed we've made
My Dear

CHORUS

Nic Niggemeyer Stockton, California

Nic would like you to think about the horizon for a bit, and maybe the first last-person-you-cared-for, and maybe how they're a lot of like. Stuck in Mudville, he'll send his thoughts out, in hopes that someone will hear them, and feel the same... because that's a conversation, and he likes those. Enjoy... and feel. ... more
