Hiding from Myself

Hide and seek, make believe We all know I never sleep Another pill taken to calm me down Falling down fat church bell Bags or bruises I can't tell Take it all while I'm chained and bound Serenade, eulogy Sharpest thoughts of infamy Have taken hold so tightly wound Get this monkey off of my back An albatross of good or bad Hold me down before I lose my mind How long before I get my sign? Timid eyes, bad disguise Rooms full of thoughtless lies Crash into my ears with no remorse Take me all, opaque wall The engine blew before it stalled And trapped me in the snow with only words Bulging vein, acid rain Tells a story of a junkie's pain A never-ending story of wasted dirt Get this monkey off of my back An albatross of good or bad Hold me down before I lose my mind How long before I get my sign? We all, we wall, we all, we all, we all
