Utopia

Wasting away in front of a TV screen
Watching my woes go by, by, by
I wasn't looking for serenity
It was to find an alternate goodbye, bye, bye
I found one quick, but it didn't stick

Temporary block from reality
Kids playing around the streets with their parents money
Wish I'd known where they'd come from
And what door they'd close for me
A manic episode I could never flee

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Gone for now
Locked it away in my closet bound
I can move away, I can move away, I can move away

This is my utopia

Wasting away, rummaging for change
The light went out the other summer
Bottling all of it up down by the river
The water seemed to stop, I wish it had been my liver
I went home today

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Gone for now
Locked it away in my closet bound
I can move away, I can move away, I can move away

This is my utopia
