Scales

Fast food will hurt me
Take vitamins to heal me
Flush it out with water, wash me clean
Down the drain it goes
My energy and my voice
Moving through the pipes to find a new home
I am convinced now
That memories are made when you are
Alone and searching
No more will I question
The reasons why I love something
Compatibility, scales, and Vesta

I never venture out
Into the backyard
Just sit on the deck and secretly smoke cigarettes
See the animals
Lying on the shoulder's edge
Hold my breath so not to catch the scent
The two lanes headed north
Are sitting at a standstill
My shoes are off and on the floorboard
I play "To Remember"
With your ghost right next to me
I sing along, only 'cause you're still singing to me
You're still singing to me

Maybe
The road that we've taken is
Empty
And fun off a cliff
But baby
I can't ditch you, so I'm
Going out ahead
On a climbing bus
