Are ‘Friends’ Electric? 2.0

Thursday 15 August 2002, 20:25 WST —

It’s cold outside
And the paint’s peeling off my walls
There’s a man outside
In a long coat gray hair smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what
I’m doing in a room like this
There’s a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I’m alone
And I can think for myself
About little deals and s.u.’s
And things I just don’t understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times I don’t think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It’s the friend that I’d left in the hallway
Please sit down
A candle-lit shadow on the wall near the bed

I know I hate to ask
But are “friends” electric?
Only Mine’s broken down
And now I’ve no one to love

So I found your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I’m lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So It’s time to leave
You see this meant everything to me

Closing In 2.0

Thursday 15 August 2002, 20:20 WST —

I can’t see ever feeling right again
I’m on a raft in a river that’s roaring away with me
What good does it do me to have what I want
When I’m in no shape to enjoy what I have

Boiling
I’m burning
I’m losing my hold
On the life that I had

Running
I’m hiding
I’m telling myself
That these things aren’t so bad

I can see there’s just no way out of this (one)
I can feel the walls closing in on me
The door at the end of the tunnel is far too small
And there’s 24 metric tons of fear closing in on me.
