It's 3:12 AM and I can't sleep Again I don't know I don't do happy, only distracted And lately even that has been feeling much less attractive Compiler blank, rhyme book empty, I'm out of practice Now I skip the mattress and crash on the couch trashed Like I'm trapped. I'm morphing. To trigger the same endorphins I'm guzzling by the quart all these foreign aids, watching p**n Three in the morning 'til the coroner rolls my corpse in The torment? It's boring. Rehashing the same performance I need some oxygen, but I take a shot of gin I'll never stop the spin until I could stop tossing lots of them back I feel the impact, feel the way my ribs crack When the demons push between the cage and break the skin like gift wrap They're parasitic so I sleep with the garish image Of a glinting kitchen knife, jabbing me through the larynx with it Blowing out my brains from behind, saying goodbye Watching the angels just fly, flame in their eyes But since there'e no other side, I might as well Stay and go for the ride, reproachful and hopeless Take a deep breath.

My thoughts are such treats Let me give you a piece of my mind Sometimes I Just feel like I've been dropped off In some other guy's body And he's got this job And all these friends And these fans and these shows And I don't know what to do It doesn't make any sense So I just—I don't know— I keep going to his job And I keep talking to his friends And I keep putting on his shows And everybody just—I don't know— They just keep clapping They keep applauding me Like I'm that guy I just want to make them stop it Just stop No. Stop Stop!
