Evaporated
"It's about loss."
-Ben
What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glaring, random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way?
For being too pent up and proud
Woke up way too late
Feeling hungover and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking about my old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go...
Anywhere
Here I stand
Sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
God... what have I done?
Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I don't feel a thing at all
Cause it's all smiles & business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I've faith that there's a soul somewhere
Who's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down...
I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
...It evaporated... see?
Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random
Dangling on a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room, head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind
