Off Track Lyrics

The notes were fine, I swear to God

And from what I'd found, produced happy sounds

At least pound for pound

But off paper they proved dissonant

Depressing songs they fill my lungs



I cannot fathom why I got off the track

And I can't get back

And I miss you happiness



The paints were bright and beautiful

All the finest hues, greens and blues, by the slews and slews

But the room, somehow, felt desolate

And near everyday seemed a shade of gray



And God I don't know how I got off the track

And I can't get back

And I miss you happiness



Bargain my life away

I gave my soul to the devil himself

And I'm writing to all my friends, dead and gone,

That I won't see them again



The script had all the elements

All the comic cues, with a joke or two, all the dos and dos

But a subtext lurked in near every scene

And a sadness shone, a frustrated tone



And fuck I don't know why I got off the track

But I can't get back

And I miss you happiness



Bargain my life away

I gave my soul to the devil himself

And I'm writing to all my friends, dead and gone

That I won't see them again



There are times when a phone call can ease my mind

It seems things are going fine

There are times when a moment makes me feel fine

But a moment is passed and gone
