lyrics

I don't like this sense of recklessness
I promise you I will improve this prison step by step
But until then its choppy waters and chilling gusts of wind
this downward spiral, I see demons as I spin.
I'm a walking, living, breathing science experiment, but so unaware of it
You can die and resurrect and still be viewed as a derelict just due to my carelessness

They said the cause of death was a lack of common sense
Oh the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
and here they come again, watch them bite their nails in suspense
to find out this was all a happy accident

I accidentally ingested arsenic, a part of it, a particle, a few parts loose inside my skull
A cornucopia of coping skills distorted into truth
Oh but what else can I do
What else can I do

You can't carve a hole in a conscience being
Sorry, shallow seasons greetings
When I all want is a quiet evening
All I want is a quiet evening
Quite the turn of events, its a necessary mess
And you ask for explanations of which there were various
But you obviously weren't prepared for this

Crawling out of my confines
Shooting enemies on sight
My head just isn't screwed on right
My head just isn't screwed on right
Nothing ever comes on time
It all just moves counterclockwise, Oh God.
This friendly face was a facade that I put on
