Starving Your Friends

Thanks a lot, I've been disadvantaged from the start He constricted the veins heading straight to my head Rerouted the blood to my heart instead Rerouted the blood to my heart instead I am brain dead, think in strictly in blues and reds Oh, I'm in enough trouble, man Oh, man, I'm in trouble again 'Cause everyone's ears are watching me And I never, ever felt that this would be Anything more than a makeshift personal IV 'Cause I fall three times as hard if it's for nothing at all You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be And I feel terribly small when my head works too hard When you think with your chest, there's not a thing that you don't see I'm hardly capable of half the damage that I would like to do I could swear that I don't care But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through So look at me, I pray to God But curse too much to be considered true I'm just like me, I'm just like me, so who the hell are you? I'm but a boy, just like the rest of these things And I borrow phrases from dusty, faded record sleeves The story is the same, I've just personalized the name But if it's all you need, then I'd be more than happy to confess my shame 'Cause I fall three times as hard if it's for nothing at all You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be And I feel terribly small when my head works too hard When you think with your chest, there's not a thing that you don't see I'm hardly capable of half the damage that I would like to do I could swear that I don't care But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through So look at me, I pray to God But curse too much to be considered true I'm just like me, I'm just like me, so who the hell are you? I know you think you know, but these eyelids are windows That shut you out from all the things that I don't want you to know And I refuse to tell you one single secret I own 'Cause you'll find I'm petrified of your eyes I'm hardly capable of half the damage that I would like to do I could swear that I don't care You know I'm too full of shit to think this through I read the book, I prayed to God But curse too much to be considered true I'm just like me, I'm just like me, so who the hell are you?
