Broken pieces on the shelves
The mangled wreckage of ourselves
I could turn my back on them
If it wasn't for the name
I see spirals around the room
Is it all just a dream?
It’s still messing with my head
A single thought to start a thread
It leaked before, it's dripping now
Some things just flow, while others drown
You don't get to move, or make a sound
The nurse will show you around
I can see it now, the falling casket
Cheer up, go smile and wave to them all
Trapped in this conjecture
Who the fuck let us in?
I can barely hear the lecture
Over the voices in my head
The motivation, well this is all I seek
Slowly happening to me
The paranoia, despise the state I’m in
I will see you way down the road
It leaked before, still dripping now
Some things just flow, while others drown
You don't get to move, or make a sound
The nurse is watching around
Way under the ground, the fallen casket
Cheer up, go smile and wave to them all
The motivation, well this is all I seek
Slowly happening to me
The paranoia, despise the state I’m in
I will see you way down the road
I held my head [for ransom]
Pass out or take off, the dust will settle
I can feel it, mind over matter
The preacher, the master, the moron, the bitch
Throw ‘em in the fucking ditch
Whatever you said
It's all in my head
It sounds like a no-brainer
I'll give you some time
I'm running away
Tripping on my failures
