I was in bed listening to my ipod on shuffle the other night when this song came on, it's been a while since i heard it and forgot how haunting the lyrics in this song are.

A man lies in his bed in a room with no door
He waits hoping for a presense; something, anything to enter
After spending half his life searching, he stil felt as blank
As the ceiling at which hes staring
Hes alive, but feels absolutely nothing
So, is he?

When he was six he belived that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for facxt
No tradebacks...
So this is what its like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...

(sung)
Im open... (2x)
Come in... (4x)
Im open... (2x)
Come in... (4x)

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
He decides to dream... dream up a new self for himself

There has been times in my life and i am guessing in most of yours that you really can relate to this song, great lyrics again by the best band in the world

    love it...i really wish they would do it live for real instead of the "fake" version they have been doing...

    This is very Jim Morrisonish
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.
