Starving Your Friends

Thanks a lot.

I've been disadvantaged from the start

He constrict the veins heading straight to my head,

Rerouted the blood to my heart instead (2x)

I am braindead,

Thinking in strictly in blues and reds.

Oh, I'm in enough trouble man,

Oh man, I'm in trouble again

Cause everyone's ears are watching me,

But I never, ever felt that this would be

Anything more than a makeshift personal I.V.

I fall three times as hard

If it's from nothing at all

You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be.

And I feel terribly small

When my head works too hard

When you think with your chest,

There's not a thing that you don't see.

I'm hardly capable of half the damage

That I would like to do

I could swear that I don't care,

But you know I'm too full of shit

To think this through.

So look at me,

I pray to God

But curse too much to be considered true.

I'm just like me,

I'm just like me,

So who the hell are you?

(End of chorus)

I'm but a boy,

Just like the rest of these thieves.

And I borrow phrases from

Dusty, faded, record sleeves

The story is the same,

I've just personalized the name

But if it's all you need,

Then I'd be more than happy to confess my shame'

I know you think you know,

But these eyelids are windows

That shut you out from all the things

That I don't want you to know.

And I refuse to tell you

One single secret I own.

'Cause you'll find I'm petrified

Of your eyes.

I'm hardly capable of half the damage

That I would like to do.

I could swear that I don't care,

But you know I'm too full of shit

To think this through.

I've read the book,

I prayed to God,

But cursed too much to be considered true.

I'm just like me,

I'm just like me,

So who the hell are you?
