Sometimes I feel
It's hard to go on
Even to get out of bed
Search through my head
Focus my eyes
Can't take another step

I don't feel right but say I am fine
If you should happen to ask
I don't know why my chest feels tight
Breath coming in ragged gasps

I've got to run
I don't know where
Away from this troubled place
Can't take anymore
The simplest thing
Has me breaking into a sweat

I don't like these shaking fits
My body's about to drop
I cry and scream and then complain
To make some sense of it all

I fall to the floor crawl I seek I implore

I've traveled far
But the silent ones
Have caught up and come to call
Their quiet screams
And patience unbound
Demand I bare it all
(you know)

I would have tried
I Never knew how much it mattered to you
I'm losing sight of the things that I'd set out to do

Looking at the sky
Never knew that I could fly
Afraid to start again

Push, pushing myself down
Into this hole that comforts me to stay
And I try
To stay awake
Because every night it always feels too late

Never tried to
Never knew you
Never knew just how to fly
Always failed you
Never came through
Never saw the other side

Looking at the sky
Never knew that I could fly
Afraid to start again
And I don't know why
I was so afraid to fly
Why would happen if I tried
I'd have to start again

You're faster
Slow down
I can't catch up
I'm losing ground

Looking at the sky
Never knew that I could fly
Afraid to start again
And I don't know why
You are so afraid to fly
What would happen if we tried
We'd have to start again

The pain, so unexpected and undeserved had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life - my house, my family, my backyard. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing.

Melodies inside of my brain, like a drone
I've been 3 days awake on a shitload of coke, man
She's lookin' at me with an evil smile
I know that gleam in her eye,
And damn she flaunts it with style, yeah

The city loves you
Coursing; rising
With a light from within, that races straight to your brain, yeah

The city loves you
Coursing; rising
As we're here in the now, and pushing forward to mayhem

Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming)

Because we feel there's so much more to see
But not much left to believe
So we all find our way in life
To chemicals and circuitry

Because we feel there's so much more to see
But not much left to believe
So we all find our way in life
Through chemicals and circuitry (Through chemicals and circuitry)
(Through chemicals and circuitry)
Through chemicals and circuitry
(Through chemicals and circuitry)
Through chemicals and circuitry

You been up here inside of my brain, in a daze
I've spent 4 days awake, and I can't feel my face, man
She's all over me with an evil smile
I know that gleam in her eye,
And damn she flaunts it with style, yeah

The city loves you
Coursing; rising
With a light from within, that races straight to your brain, yeah

The city loves you
Coursing; rising
As we're here in the now, and pushing forward to mayhem

Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming) Harder, faster, better, louder
Screaming harder, faster, better, louder
(Screa-ming)

Because we feel there's so much more to see
But not much left to believe
So we all find our way in life
To chemicals and circuitry

Because we feel there's so much more to see
But not much left to believe
So we all find our way in life

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up

Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do

It's buried deep within the past , i hope it doesn't last
It's something i already chased, i already chased
I try to give it all away, but it's never gonna fade
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face
I know you feel it's all the same, but I promise that i'll change
It's something i already chased, i already chased
You know i'm trying to believe that you're never gonna leave
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face
There's nothing left! The fear is gone
Oh, my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before i make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you
I know i'm not the perfect one, the pain has just begun
It's something i already chased, i already chased
You bring me to a better path, it's everything i asked
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face
There's nothing left! The fear is gone
There's nothing left! The fear is gone
Oh, my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before i make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you
