The pills kept me sane
And the pills kept me lost forever
Diluted half the fame
Quiet they say, or we'll start again
My life's against a wall
A firing squad aims for pleasure
The casings around me fall
The exit holes, always sting and the voices say...
Do it again. At the end of the day. It's all pretend.
These walls won't pray for me. They can't stop grinning.
Do it again. We won't hurt you. It's all pretend.
These hands don't pray for me.
Breathing on the phone. A universe away.
Melting into the floor or an early grave.
Hoping I'm okay, but it sure doesn't seem that way.
A lady speaks from there, I don't quite know.
Responding to the questions, from an empty dial tone...
"We know who you are, you're a superstar.
But stay on the line, 'cause this time
You've gone way too f*cking far."
It really doesn't matter what they say
The doors are locked and windows barred
Frozen in one place
Do it again. At the end of the day. It's all pretend.
These lines don't pray for me. An old beginning.
Do it again. We won't hurt you. It's all pretend.
Do it again, do it again. It's all pretend.
These scars don't pray for me.
Silent shame.
They thought they had me in
But I showed them when I left forever
I revel in all the fame
With all of us, we're one in the same
A pity they never called
I'm losing touch, not knowing the answer
Black crayons against my wall
To mask the gap that grows still wilder
It peels my soul away
Strip by strip I'm gone forever
But, I revel in all the fame
With all of us, we're one in the same.
