It's been a rotten day
I just can't seem to steal away
dwelled on it all day
blacks and whites
blending grey
you've got a lot to say
no one gives the time of day
well
not with good intentions anyway
without a ticket on a train
And the scenery
is getting so surreal
Its been a trying day
just can't seem to feel the same
as I did yesterday
cause everything has up and changed
how about that lobotomy
make me forget I'm me
or maybe some morphine
and an IV
so I can get through
On these pills
and those pills
they caramelize my insides
don't write more
they're not fine
they caramelize my mindset
it's not right
I don't know why
my cataracts are on fire
all the time
on these pills
and the scenery is getting so surreal
is this all the pain that I have to feel
the scenery is getting so surreal
how will I ever pay all these hospital bills
