Nebraska

Hey Mike, I wish I could help you figure something out
 But it's been too long since we spoke
 Your sarcasm radiates unhappiness
 So withdrawn and rooted deep inside
 Are you content at 27?
 Were you hopeful at 17?
 A void the size of oceans stretches out between us
 I guess our blood is supposed to be a bridge
 Can you pull yourself up
 From this self hatred?
 Can you pull yourself up?
 Frustration's driven you to angry dreams
 Let Nebraska disappear in golden flames of grain
 I know you can't imagine having company right now
 There's a world of tired faces who understand this pain
 There's a better life waiting on the outside
 Of these decaying walls
 Of these decaying walls
 Your bitterness doesn't surprise me
 As these pointless days go streaming by
 Rejected, sour eyes can't imagine blue skies
 Rejected, sour eyes can't imagine blue skies
 I wish you could find something to live for
 Besides the agony of bleeding towards this last breath
 I truly believe that you want more than this
 This is killing you, I truly believe that you want more than this
 What you want is very simple
 But somehow so complex to get
 What you want is very simple
 But somehow so complex to get
 Please don't hate yourself
 Please don't hate yourself
 Please don't hate yourself
 Please don't hate yourself
 Please don't hate yourself
 Please don't hate yourself
 I truly believe that you want more than this
