Stuck In Here
-
Chasing the damned thoughts
Out of my freakin' brain
Nobody knows why I think them
And I do not either
Hey hey
I used to know why I was thinkin' too much
Now I just sleep away right after lunch
I'll never know why I give a fuck
Just don't chase me
Until I break away
The noises all escape my brain
And "never" becomes a word I don't understand
And today
I may just falter
And run away
With no news about correction
I just can't fix my brain
So I will explode
And go to outer space
Putting a leash on my cat
And taking her for a walk
As Martians stab us, here and about
Bring about pain and strife
Just plain making us suffer
Nobody knows me like a bottle of pills
I'm not here to be killed
I just want to get my fill
Yet, I slip and fall
With no one to call
Can life be over?
Nobody could ever tell
Though I will shrink my own mind, myself
As I serve a sentence
That I slap myself with
And do time in self imprisonment
Making myself suffer
To correct my karma
And pay my dues for my wrongs
But it doesn't get any less crazy than that
My body just keeps getting fat
As I look back at my old self
When the screen saver comes on
And I see old pictures of me
Before I was sentenced to live in a tiny home
Where I filed bankruptcy
And got stuck in
Now the days drag on by
With nothing but sleep to look forward to
Only a pen and some paper to comfort me
When I'm too tired to pick up the guitar
And play
And with nothing on day time television
My bike needing repair
Traps me at home, in my despair
Even my friends on the 'phone
Having nothing to say after 30 minutes
And I fall silent as well
Flames burn me in this Hell
No water in this well
Nothing to recollect, that would ring a bell
I have no more soul to sell
Why would I want to anyways?
It's not something that could be understood
Not by me
Not by any one
Life's just not fun bein' locked up
But the world can never forgive me
In here, I am just stuck
