Altered State
©2004 sockdrawer studios



It was almost yesterday
Everyone had too much to say
Now it seems everyone collapses in a different way

I’m guilty of giving in too
just to make the rent on a new york room 
now everything’s cascading, so don’t be blue!

I gotta do what I gotta do

      I’m livin one more shot at it
      I don’t care what you make of it
      And yeah, I know I can’t get back to yesterday
      I’ll take the next best thing
      Take me to an altered state

Walk among the stars today
Swim in the vacuum of space
If you move fast enough you can pretend you never change

Turn your dust into life
Believe in the things you think are right
We’re taking off for that black unknown tonight

you gotta do what you gotta do

      I’m livin one more shot at it
      I don’t care what you make of it
      And yeah, I know I can’t get back to yesterday
      I’ll take the next best thing
      Take me to an altered state
