Verse 1
Ascends from Hell 
Says farewell
Leaves me broken
Broke as Hell 
Tossing what I can't sell
Into a wishing well
Purple bruise colored skyline
Sun that burns but still won't shine
Flicker of a lighter
Is all that lights this life of mine
This can't be reality
Too contrived even for TV
Face down in the floodplain
Falls through holes in her brain
Led farther down to failure
Lead filled town, run down trailer
Morning time, six past seven
For her it's still 211

Pre Chorus
When was I love you first a lie?
Which moment was really goodbye?
Throw away all that you were
Let her demons consume her
I'd swear that summer was all a dream
If it wasn't a blur

Chorus
Caught in circumstances I don't understand
I'm in a trance inside a dreamland
Where we talk and you smile cause I'm holding your hand
Nothing ever goes as planned
But all that stands between us is an ampersand

Verse 2
Bloated face
Red puffy eyes
Body follows
A soul that dies
Hardly recognize her
Behind too familiar eyes
This monster wearing her skin
Is controlled by her within
Love's confusion
Tricks the mind
Dulls the senses
Makes you blind
So despite transparency
She remains a mystery to me

Pre Chorus
When were you behind the mask?
I don't believe your words, why ask?
Was Summer only a dream?
I'm not sure
Summer was a nightmare
I must concur

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Close my eyes
I meet her in my dreams
The girl I fell in love with
As she first seemed
All her beauty, wit, and charms
I fall into her arms
I tell her what she did to me
She cries
Says I love you
I apologize
Hand placed on her face
Feel her soft skin a final time
Saying our last goodbyes
I kiss her
Whisper
I forgive you
I love you
Then I open my eyes

Chorus
Caught in circumstances
I don't understand
I'm in a trance
Inside a Greenland
Where we kiss and
You smile cause I'm holding your hand 
Nothing ever goes as planned
But all that stands between us is an ampersand

This earth is far too beautiful
