I opened up my computer

Gave myself a fair warning one more time

I sounded so calm and sure of myself

So I took out that needle and stuck it in my side

I picked up my old guitar

Looking to drain all the poison from my mind

I thought that feeling bad would turn me into some kind of savior So I scribbled out those words and gave it one more try

I looked in the mirror and said

Do you even know me?

The fire inside your head died

Someone got up and walked out to the cold breeze You don't even know him

You just tell him he's all wrong But his hands are on you now

I'm going on a road trip with my dad

Looking to break up all these days gone mad

Where I sit in my body, but I can't stop exploring my mind

 

So I pinched the thin skin on my hand and gave it one more try

I remember sitting in the front seat, eyes half closed

Squinting at the dashboard, miles of air into my nose

And with each inch down on the gas pedal, feels like I am bursting out of myself I thought that feeling bad would turn me into some kind of savior

But really dwelling in that world only brought me closer to my anger

I feel like a hot stove

Hurled into a frozen lake

I watch it all go by

I know that everything decays

I know it ain't healthy

To calm yourself down

By thinking about the universe

In its massive pointlessness you just drown

Instead I go home Get to know myself And I trust that more Than anything else
