[was one] || this is a gray day if there ever was one | i'll never reach the borders of my boredom | this is a bad dream if there ever was one | it feels like i am bleeding but i don't know what from || sometimes nothing stays the same, my friend | when suddenly everything is violently different || this is a poor song if there ever was one | my tongue is flowering from biting on it too strong | i almost slipped on a piece of sucked out lemon | this is a cracked heart if there ever was one || sometimes nothing stays the same, my friend | when suddenly everything is violently different||

"was one" was written to describe the situation after a friend of mine had died unexpectedly, but i think it can be applied to any kind of post-traumatic condition. the "sucked out lemon" line was inspired by radiohead's "everything in its right place".
