If you let me go I promise I'll be good. Keep my head down, do exactly as I should and if I crack up you'll be the first to know, you got front row tickets and I'm the star of your favorite show.
Oh and yes I know, yes I know how you love me so
as long as I, as long as I wallow here in the muck and the mud.
It's sick, it's insane how you insist on doing the same thing twice.
Is it really so strange an atheist should pray?
Chipping away at the stone only pain can make him change.
Oh and when he hurts, when he hurts life it moves so slow
Oh but if you want you can repeat for the same result.
Oh and yes I know, yes I know how you love me so
as long as I, as long as I wallow here in the muck and the mud.
It's sick, it's insane how you insist on doing the same thing twice.
Constant communication in the twenty first century is wearing me down.
Oh how you need. How you need. How you need. How you need and you put it on the page for all your friends to see. Stop posting things! Stop posting things! I don't care what it is I don't care where you are just stop posting things!
Oh and yes I know, yes I know how you love me so
as long as I, as long as I wallow here in the muck and the mud.
It's sick, it's insane how you insist on doing the same thing twice.
Constant communication in the twenty first century is wearing me down.
