I woke up surprised and disappointed
to find out I was still me,
Last night should've killed me.
Took a shower couldn't scrub it off
Tried to scream, I could only cough
I can't trust myself to be my own friend.
Exhausted by the effort it takes to breathe,
The Whole world is against me
That's what I belive,
don't waste your empathy on me
[Chorus]
I'm through puttin one foot in front of the other
I'm do wanna run for cover
From the moment I wake up til I'm
starin at the ceiling trying to sleep
I wonder if I have a soul to keep.
Voices in my head will not turn off
There's a heavy weight on top
of my chest today,
I don't want it to go away because,
the moment I let down my guard,
life will hit me twice as hard
My mistake, I thought I could have
just one day off
From pushing boulders up steep hills,
playin in traffic for cheap thrills
I don't know what to do
that's why I'm tellin you that
[Chorus]
Sometimes there's nothing on my mind
but everything at one time
Find me sliding backwards down
to where I don't want to be found
Stop with these tests give me some rest
My heart is beating right out of my chest
I do believe I have a soul to keep.
Get out of my way
I'm coming your way
And I'm more important
Don't let your mouth write a check you can't cash
'Cause your body can't afford it
Don't you know who I am?
You'd better give a damn
I'm with the band, man.
Bask in my glory
And tell me a story
Of how great you think I am
You'd better make room for me
I'm coming through with my ego
"Man your band is really rad"
"Yeah, I know"
My ego puts you down
My ego pumps me up
My ego tells me why I am so great
... And why you suck.
Workin' the door
I've got status galore
And a heavy flashlight
Don't give me no shit
Cause I'll bust your lip
And the clubs on my side.
You paid for music
But you might leave with bruises
For dancing at all
You must be a sucker
If you paid to get in
To see 30FeetTall
You'd better make room for me
I'm coming through with my maglite
"Sure, I'll let you meet the band"
"If you're cool"
My ego lets you down
My ego pumps me up
My ego tells me why I am so great
... And why you suck
