Here I am again Drowing in the sheets of my sweat stained bed I throw the covers over my head But when the light breaks through My body builds up the dread And two hours later at work, staring a hole in the wall I can see, I can smell, you may think that I'm well... But something isn't right at all
Cause I can taste the bitter acid washing up my throat I can feel the brittle marrow cracking in my bones And this headache means I probably got a tumor in my head And this mark on my back is practically blood red It could be cancer of the spine, but my doctor says I'm fine Well say what you want I can't help the feeling that I'm dying
Chorus: I've got the sanity of Rosemary Kennedy before lobotomy And I'm the greatest threat to my own health But how can you blame me? I wonder why I don't see more people going crazy Reading about the news every day Getting sick of feeling limp and useless Oh, tell me what the use is? The tortured soul I can save 'Cause if you leave me alone with my mind You're gonna dig my grave
Listen up my only friend If the sun should burn out and the world just ends Well we'd be dead but we wouldn't be scared You can't have fear if you don't have time to reflect And the minutes you waste taking up space instead of really being alive Would be better put to use trying to make a friend or two 'Cause they will give you the courage to get through life
And it won't be too long now before you're gone And someone takes your place to carry the world on their arms Well that doesn't sound nice I should take my own advice and leave all my fear and hate behind But paranoia rules my brain while the shrink says i'm sane Well go ahead and diagnose whatever you want, but you're lying
