Lyrics

I need good news

I need positive updates or information

I'm begging you

Strongly requesting

Bring me good, good news

Bring me favorable, uplifting news

I'm begging you

Expressing a plea


See it's the nothingness that kills

The feeling of emptiness is emotionally distressing

The same food for all three meals

Having the same uninteresting or unsatisfactory experience repeatedly

It's the motions of staying still

Being stuck in a routine, not progressing

It's my breaking will on the breaking wheel

My spirit is being broken down


I need good news

Reiteration of the need for positive updates

I'm begging you

A heartfelt plea

Bring me good, good news

Asking for good, uplifting news

I'm begging you

Re-emphasizing the plea


In the aftermath of grief

Following the experience of loss and pain

Lies a lonely in between

A period of feeling isolated and undefined

Of where I've been

The space between past and unattainable future

And where I'll never be

The contrast between where I've been and where I cannot go


And so with little concern for heaven

With little concern about extreme outcomes (heaven or hell)

And less for hell

Even less concern about severe consequences

It's that place in the middle

Emphasizing the middle ground

Where most days I find myself

Identifying with a place of uncertainty

Blowing smoke out on the porch

Metaphorically blowing smoke, possibly feeling aimless or uncertain

In early march

During early March, a specific time, feeling detached

With too much time to kill

Having too much time with no purpose

And nothing fills

Nothing brings fulfillment

And nothing will

There's no prospect of things improving


I need good news

Reiterating the desire for positive updates

I'm begging you

Strongly pleading

Bring me good, good news

Asking again for favorable news

I'm begging you

Re-emphasizing the plea


In the aftermath of grief

Following the experience of loss and pain

Lies a lonely version of me

A solitary and altered version of myself

Not who I've been

Not the person I used to be

Nor who I've yet to be

Not yet the person I will become
