C: 365 is where I will be publishing the results of an eperiment in songwriting. I will be posting one full lyric up, per day, for a year. Every day.
My aim is to explore the themes that recur in lyrics, as experiences are had and attitudes and ideals develop and evolve, as well as to monitor how I personally develop, as a lyricist.

The official experiment starts on January 1st, 2010.

4- Good friend.

I'm passing out in bath tubs from the smell and from the heat,
I told you I was leaving soon, you sighed in relief.
You once promised that mine would be the last lips you'd kiss,
I think I split my sides from all the laughing I did…

And my friends all tell me I should start getting out more,
Try clubs and heavy drinking, getting messed up at shows,
I want to make a break for freedom but I don't know,
If freedoms what I'm looking for…

Or if I just… wanna be smothered over,
Rub my shoulders?
Make me happy?
You think I'm acting, well I'm not, I never was…
I never was--

I'm driving miles away, from one big city to the next,
I'm sleeping on my friends couch, inhaling drugs and cigarettes,
She told me that I looked like I was gonna be the best,
Nobody ever told me that…
Nobody ever told me that before…

And I think…
That she was simply…
Being a good friend…
Being a good friend...
