lyrics

I walked a circle around the heart of the dark place where we used to feel at home, where you stood in that gazebo by the water and I felt glad to be alive, where it's silent now if you come on your own

We paced through years making laps in crossed directions, you went your own way and I went mine, but in time through some alignment that's predicted by cosmology will end up remembering when those paths intertwined

And there you were a lonely girl from high school, a first love and a best friend, how I cried so hard and poured one out for the havoc that Columbia County has wrought on your brain, at the hands of those protective parents so scared of the threat I represent and all those fair-weather Republican friends who said that loving a woman meant you were insane, well loving a woman a woman does not make you insane

Now you reach through this screen across the dark and across history clasping at innocence you left behind and here in this confessional when you talk about the future you say "Oh God what the Hell have I done with my life" Oh Victoria what have you done with your life?

Please don't join the military, please don't help them wage more wars they will tell you its an honor to kill for your country but a country is not what you'll be fighting for. Who made their money in Afghanistan? Who made their money in Iraq? Those captains of the industry use you to line their pockets but the things they take away are never given back. Yeah the lives that we have lost are never coming back.
