TRILOGY
(Chorus is from high school, verse and middle are hijacked from An Overhaul outtakes)

lyrics

I remember sitting
In a car no bigger than my bed
The shoulder belt lay flat behind my head
And a scent that I would come to love
As something like fermented pine
Was thick across my father's easy smile

I have always tried to trace the scars to him
But the more I look, there's only country teeth and skin

Please protect me from myself
Can you help me or turn me into someone else?
I will always be the one to hurt myself
I will always be the one to hurt you. "Blame yourself."

I remember driving
In a car no bigger than my bed
The windshield turning purple, blue and red
And I thought I felt the presence
Of a power loving and divine
I thought I heard it tell me to keep driving

You can circle around the world in search of truth
You can run forever when you know it's not in you

I remember hearing the beginning chords of "A Hard Day's Night"
It sounded like a blueprint for a life
