It's a community feeling I cannot explain;
a mutual tendency to drink, smoke and fuck all day.
What else is there to do in a small town of Bottamesden.
Kids are forced to attend the schools;
institutions that just assimilate, and depress…
you know we've got better places we'd rather be
like hiding out with our friends
running from police because of a friendly felony offense.
We’ll be at our best after
snorting pills, smoking spliffs, and slamming shots.
A small town bond of community kids
we know how to party and have a good time
commit crimes and never do time.
One small tragedy brings everyone together
to share the grief of a well known friend.
In a community like this
you know everyone from the dealers, to the preachers,
the pedophiles, to the alcoholics...
its your typical small town gossip
but sometimes it comes in handy
like when your stash is low
and you just need more.
We don't really give a shit if we fail or pass
because grades to us are just blots of ink
that anyone can simply get.
Life’s no contest and there are no prizes to be won.
We'd rather live and enjoy our life.

What three towns is Bottamesden?

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I really like this poem/story, it reminds me of a lot of the stuff I like best about Third Eye Blind songs. The concept of just LIVING, and who cares what other people think of you, so long as you're happy.

We feel the emptiness so we can find a way to fill it.
the scene reminds me of a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks:

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

I like it a lot

On the 8th line, you say friendly felony offense.
They're synonymous, at least in the context, or is it the offense of a friendly felony. =x I tried

"I am completely in love with this.
but the ending makes me emo, I wanna know what happens next."
yea, I was trying to say like an offense of nothing outrageous.. just like charges for drugs... not sure if its the right term :blush:
