it's like we're running out of everything
attention is at a loss
common sense is in a sling
we'd choose to walk across...
a barely frozen ocean
you don't know what's to come
if you refuse the potion
you are made to seem so dumb
I need it all to stop
it's prickled like a rose
staring at the top of the ground
nothing here can grow...
and now I'm driving down the highway
where the road slips down by the bay
I see a family of ducks try to cross the street
they start to walk along the concrete
one of the chicks doesn't make it through
and the trucker that killed him has no clue
how can he live knowing what he did?
watching through the tears in my eyelid

don't you know all the time that you take up space?
you don't think about it 'cuz you're unaware
it's the end of the road you walk across you're at a loss
you can't zig-zag your way through...
but you'll never own up to it
you'll have a fit, it's for the bit,
you'll shoot the shit, you'll never quit, never admit
you don't think of yourself as a waste
and nobody's listening to your problems
no one wants to solve 'em
you big waste of O2
you're only losin' out because of you
meandering through your days
walking down through the street like it is a maze
it really just seems like a crime
robbing yourself of all your precious time
you did it to yourself, you did
and you'll do it again
you never learn, never grow,
never have anything to show
for all the time spent on your ass
it almost all seems out of grasp
you can barely even function on your own anymore
meandering through your days
walking down through the street like it is a maze
it really just seems like a crime
robbing yourself of all your precious time

Lozenges

softly, she's tracing the lengths of my fingers
(ohhhh-ahhhh) lasting effect of it lingers
I'm over and done
it's all I have left now
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I could live in a cloud
where I could sit around
and take a look at the town
this pressure is making me drown
lozenges soothe the sore throat of a bad ending
(ohhhh-ahhhh) bleeding hearts in need of mending
it's over now
it's just a plateau, yeah
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I never made a sound
I'm much too loud,
never pleasin' the crowd
was there a reason to be proud?
someone just break the spell
tell me "it's all an illusion"
lie to my face and let me stir in the confusion
keep trippin' over, fallin' down
caused a big contusion
I don't know what to believe anymore-
this suffocation delusion
it never ends
it's all I have left now
don't want to break you down
like when there's crumbling ground
wish I could live in a cloud
where I could sit around
and take a look at the town
this pressure is making me drown
numbed when it rains and the ceiling begins to seep
(ohhhh-ahhh) puts me right to sleep
and now in my dreams, it's the only way I cope
I'm still holding out for any inkling of hope
I still have hope
