lyrics

Sometimes I think I'm better off eating dirt
Because I'd rather choke to death than wind up really hurt
And I see something creepy creeping up inside your skirt
But I'm not gonna try to get it.

And I'm not right inside my head.
It's just like everybody said.

Sometimes I think I'm better off taking pills
Because I found out feeling there's nothing I like to feel
And the numbness you describe isn't any less real
Than the pain I'm paying off now.

You're catching up on missed cigarettes from sleeping in too late
And I'm hoping I'm lucky enough to forget how they taste
And I was alive at the start of time and I'll be here in the end
When the planes crash down on the fucking town and you realize I'm your friend.

Sometimes I think I'm better off jerking off
Find a one bedroom for myself and that old dirty cloth
Because I'm shaking when they make me turn my head and cough
But fuck! I'd be shaking anyway.

But that's alright-- I'll just go to bed.

You're catching up on missed cigarettes from sleeping in too late
And I'm hoping I'm lucky enough to forget how they taste
And I was alive at the start of time and I'll be here in the end
When the planes crash down on the fucking town and you realize I'm your friend.
