about

Lyrics clearly written during teenage years, 1997 or so? Finally recorded in maybe 2000?

lyrics

Can you see me at the bottom of Five Mile Hill?
Alone while my mind punches holes in me like some self-destructive drill.
And I'm lying in a ditch, looking up at things better than me.
I want to scrub myself away.
Have I disgusted you sufficiently
Or do you still think that you can help me up Five Mile Hill?

Can you see me from the top of Five Mile Hill?
I know you can, but I can't help wondering how much longer you will
Be so patient with me while I try to shake off these mental chains,
Like a balloon dumping sandbags to let me float up past my pain,
To be with you, what you deserve, on Five Mile Hill.

And my tectonic plates start to shift,
Dragging me further down this cliff.
I feel guilty about asking your assistance,
But Five Mile Hill offers too much resistance.

Would you see me at the bottom of Five Mile Hill?
This boundless landscape holds so much beauty.
Is your gaze fixed on me still?
I can't really tell--this canyon is too dense for me to see.
Reality's distorted and my senses have run away from me,
But I hope you remain waiting for me on Five Mile Hill.
