Previous State

I’m sitting on the perfect stack
Of terraformed red and black
Cards I laid to hide how I really feel
So and reach back
It’s a tough task, and it’s too fast
Take a breath, I know it’d never come to that
Driving in circles around the state
Breathing in sulfur and ruining my brain
If I got a glimpse of my previous state
I’d look him in the eye, and I’d stay
That you ain’t really nothin' man
You stroke a match and lit the fuse
It’s as old as me, it’s as old as you
Still not sure where we’re headed to
It’s a short page, but it ain’t plain
Using fancy words for a simple phrase
All to tell how me I oughta feel
Driving in circles around the state
Breathing in sulfur and ruining my brain
If I got a glimpse of my previous state
I’d look him in the eye, and I’d stay
That you ain’t really nothin' man
Yeah, you ain’t really nothin' man
