[00:00.161] BRUCE:
[00:00.412] I ****ing love beginnings
[00:02.478] Flying high!
[00:04.808] It's hard to know where to start
[00:06.499] It's all so fast
[00:07.785] I'm trying not to spin
[00:09.857] I guess I'm older
[00:11.675] And it's harder when you're older to begin
[00:22.387] Peeling plaster
[00:23.696] Sagging roof
[00:24.736] Two missing stairs
[00:26.039] A buckled wall
[00:27.610] I'm fired up to do this
[00:30.342] But on my own it all…
[00:32.622] So much damage
[00:33.924] Broken windows
[00:35.490] Pipes are shit
[00:36.533] Crap veneer
[00:38.275] It's hours later
[00:39.832] Jesus, I'm still standing here
[00:43.721] Still standing here
[00:48.448] But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall
[00:53.437] At certain times of day
[00:56.844] I see how fine this house could be
[01:01.027] I see it so damn clear!
[01:06.028] What's the matter?
[01:08.832] Why am I standing here?
[01:16.646] Bad foundation
[01:18.433] Twisting floorboards
[01:19.737] Shoddy pipes
[01:21.045] Gaping hole
[01:22.330] It's a lot
[01:24.351] It's a lot to keep under control
[01:27.876] Something's cracking
[01:28.844] Something's rotting
[01:30.164] Piles of ruin and debris
[01:33.660] Killing me
[01:34.440] Crushing me
[01:35.668] Pushing me!
[01:36.626] But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall
[01:41.500] At certain times of day
[01:44.626] I see how fine this house could be
[01:48.968] I see it so damn clear!
[01:53.687] What's the matter?
[01:57.104] Why am I standing here?
[02:02.351] Dear Al, I'm scared
[02:04.982] I had a life I thought I understood
[02:08.828] I took it and I squeezed out every bit of life I could
[02:13.290] But the edges of the world that held me up have gone away
[02:19.556] And I'm falling into nothingness
[02:23.437] Or flying into something so sublime
[02:28.169] And I'm
[02:30.806] A man I don't know
[02:32.641] Who am I now?
[02:33.158] Where do I go?
[02:34.199] I can't go back
[02:35.507] I can't find my way through
[02:38.381] I might still break a heart or two!
[02:44.923] But when the sunlight hits the parlor wall
[02:50.146] At certain times of day
[02:53.822] I see how fine this house could be
[02:57.994] I see it so damn clear!
[03:02.847] Oh my god
[03:06.009] Why am I standing here?!?
