East Coast Time
Thinking back to east coast time
two more hours of pain
two more hours of no gain
two more hours of hate
two more hours of disbelief
two more hours of disgrace
Thinking back to east coast time why did I stay
Why did I try
I knew before it would not work on east coast time
the struggle is strong the fear is blinding
love is gone the anger was wrong
In east coast time you have time to swallow in regret
distorted dreams
dead end abundant
the margin of error much greater
In east coast time
two hours ago
your world has ended
you've crashed head on into failed expectations
On east coast time I'd rather be here in west coast time
where I believe all is surreal with me
