Interlude (A True Story) Lyrics

Let me tell you a story about the time I

Got pulled over on a highway and cried

It was over a nightmare I had the night before where I

Had a remote that operated just like click

You know, where you can't rewind, but you can fast forward it

I used it to skip things I didn't like doing,

Like skip through my shift just to get it over with

But instead of fast forwarding, it just skipped,

And I popped out of existence and appeared back after a bit

My boss got mad at me, and I got fired

I went home soon after

Next day I had class at my college, so I decided to skip that just to make it go faster

I didn't learn my lesson before as this time I popped back home

At a funeral with my dad's slideshow going on,

Front row seat next to my bro and mom,

And they questioned me like where did I come from

You see, he had heart problems after I had gone, the stress of missing a son got to him

So he went to sleep one night, and he never awoke to see the next dawn

Panicking, I tried to rewind time to fix the mistake that I had made back in my prime

But in the rush, I skipped forward again, only to see my mom with gray hair and wrinkles

And a casket that lay shut where I knew my brother lied in

She told me that after I went missing for years, and his father dying, he turned the

Drugs to escape, but one day he OD'd and was missing for weeks until he was found, and

Now he'll never again awake

I dropped the remote as my heart stopped, and the next thing I know in the future again

Is where I popped

In

Now I was all alone

And the only thing I could think to do was to go home

But no home I had because home is only home

When you're with people that don't make you feel so alone

So I pulled a knife, I sliced at my wrist and let me bleed,

I was going till my body didn't have the blood that it needs,

I fell to my knees just begging, begging please just let me go

Home

I felt all the pain in that dream until eventually I awoke,

Face down on a pillow that was tear soaked,

Realized that it was just a dream, or maybe even some sick joke

That was played upon me until I realized

That there was a lesson

In everything that my head wrote

Don't let shit fester inside,

Because if you do,

It'll eat you alive,

You won't even be able to recognize yourself in due time,

But if you let it go,

Then you can live the rest of your life,

Happy and stress regulated,

And forever have a peace that many have soughtfor

And died

At least this was a dream of mine

Some people out there aren't as lucky,

Sorry I should say,

Some people out there

Weren't as lucky

Thank you for listening
