I'm on my knees and I'm running
through broken glass, feel like I'm dying
I haven't eaten vegetables in weeks
And I can't tell you what I'm feeling
Well, how would you describe nothing?
I wish I had something more to say
Been keeping a real steady diet
of apathy, caffeine, and quiet
Antidepressants and vitamins
And all the world really needs is
one more whiney musician
What am I contributing?
My minds on overdrive, distorting
Wading through oceans of boredom
Crumpled thoughts in the recycling
Have you been erased or are you fading?
Curse into the mirror and then it's praying
Your hands covered with the smell of sage
I've been keeping a real steady diet
of apathy, caffeine, and quiet
Antidepressants and vitamins
And all the world really needs is
one more whiney musician
What am I contributing?

I don't want to be
The shit beneath your boots
I'm tired of seeing the darker side of you
Kick me with your spurs
Like a bronco running wild
It's all become, what's happened to this child?
Half-hitching my brain
A lasso round her heart
A tenderfoot I came, found a filly in the dark
Pogonips ahead
Rustlers closing in
Searching for the elephants again and again
Cause I don't want to be
The shit beneath your boot
I'm tired of seeing the darker side of you

Sometimes

Please feed me
I'm hungry
And I've never felt so empty
I've never been so tired
So uninspired
I could never have really imagined
But I know that things happen
I could have never really imagined
But I know that things happen sometimes
Please feed me
I'm hungry
Severely lacking in vitamins
And I wish that nothing mattered
But at the same time I'm flattered
And I've never been so tired
So uninspired
And I've never felt so pretty
Begging for your pity
I could have never really imagined
But I know that things happen
I could never really have imagined
But I know these things happen sometimes
I could have never really imagined
But I know that these things happen
I could never imagine
But I know that these things happen

Stars

Stars underneath the dirt up above
When I tried to sweep, my throat filled with dust
And I couldn't speak, and I couldn't hear
And I couldn't see through the sky filled with tears
In the center of infinity
I'll give you what you want
If you give me what I need
Her soul was itching so she scratched and she scratched
She started to bleed, all bound up and bandaged
She couldn't speak, she couldn't hear
She couldn't see through her eyes filled with tears
In the center of infinity
I'll give you what you want
If you give me what I need

Oh, Lord

Oh, my lord
Oh, my lord
Can you please show me what I should do?
Oh, my lord
Oh, my lord
Why don't you make yourself come true?
You say you can do anything
Yeah, but can you give the devil wings?
Can you turn me upside down
And then downside up?
Oh my god, I'm so fucked
Oh, my lord
Oh, my lord
Why don't you ever answer the phone?
Oh, my lord
Oh, my lord
I can see by the lights that you're home
You say you can do anything
Yeah, but can you make the devil sing?
Can you turn me upside down
And then downside up?
Oh my god, I'm so fucked
You say you can see everything
Yeah, but can you see that I'm drowning?
Can you pull me back in so at least my feet can touch?
Oh my god, I'm so fucked
Oh my god, I'm so fucked
Oh my god, I'm so fucked

Simply Smiling
04:51

And I swear that I've been here before
Back to this place, but through a different door
The sands of time all scattered on the floor
Just get the broom out, make it like it was before
Cause simply smiling has become a chore
And all she wants is a little something more
I let you down and now you're awful sore
But don't you know, it's you that I adore?
And I'm just waiting for the storm to pass
Beneath the lighting in my tinfoil hat
And in due time the clouds become mirrors
Entire skies reflecting your worst fears
And I swear that I've been here before
Back to this place, but through a different door
The sands of time all scattered on the floor
Just get the broom out, make it like it was before
When it rains it pours and I know that I've said it before
Yet somehow we forget we always knew what we had in store
Soon I'll become the stain on the wall that you try to ignore
When I start to mold, you'll know you haven't been doing your chores
And I swear that I've been here before
Back to this place, but through a different door
The sands of time all scattered on the floor
Just get the broom out and make it like it was before
Cause simply smiling has become a chore
And all she wants is a little something more
I let you down and now you're awful sore
But don't you know, it's you that I adore?
