  pm.................................................................
We were fading like the bottom of a bad dream.
We were heading south looking for a good time. 
Faces look so pretty in the spotlight. 
All blown out and bathed inside a world of white. 
Sometimes I feel like I am holding it together. 
Sometimes I feel like everything is fine.

  pm.................................................................
It was sunny on the streets down there by the water. 
We would get hammered on the beach right down by the water. 
She was slightly out of reach, a rich mans only daughter. 
I think she slept with me just so she could piss off her father. 
I am elastic. I am easy with the damage. 
I am ecstatic. I am hungry for the climb.

  pm.................................................................
Those faces look so scary in the harsh light. 
All blown out and bathed inside a world of white. 
We were shining like the good part of a bad time.
We were laughing, happy just to be along for the ride.

Sometimes I fell like I am really lucky.

Sometimes I feel like I?m out of control. 
I feel like I am falling? Like my life is on a slide.
