Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything
And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
And I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything
And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday
I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
And I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

Nicky wrote the song
Richey disappeared
Doesn't it ring a bell? This song is obviously about how Nicky couldn't help his best friend through the worst time of his life.
"Someone somewhere soon will take care of you I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds Why do anything when you can forget everything"
That has to be the part of the song that just gives it away. He's giving up because he knows he failed his friend. He's sorry he can't help, but that's the way it is.
My thoghts exactly..! I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see this.. it's so obvious
if only the times lined up.
