lyrics

Goddamn we sleep all the time
About a third of our lives
So why the hell am I exhausted morning through night?
I go to work in a fog
And just get worse on the clock
Can't even tell you what my boss said
I just forgot
It doesn't matter how long
I'm out I still feel as wrong
Not even March and all my sick days are already gone
Another zombie in drag
Without the will to attack
And nothing helps cause I'm a headcase
But I'll take it black

I've got a lot of time to think in fact
I think I've got too much
Who would ever want to live like that?
I'm drowning in good luck
Seeing clearly now I'm looking back
I guess that I grew up
But why'd it come so quick?

I try to sit but it hurts
And standing only feels worse
I'll take a Tylenol or death
Whichever comes first
I'm worried sick for my health
Don't want to ask you for help
"Oh don't you know that if you're stressed it triples itself?"
Do you remember the view
Before your life would intrude
This new nostalgia's pretty rough in
Setting the mood
Now you're responsible and
You're a respectable man
Who's up at 3 AM for nothing
Fear what you can

I fear I failed to impress
Myself with all my regrets
Won't get awarded unless
That counts as its own success
So all the outfield cadets
Distracted chasing insects
Have we admitted it yet
That they're as right as it gets

Goddamn we sleep all the time
About a third of our lives
So why the hell am I exhausted morning through night?
I go to work in a fog
And just get worse on the clock
Can't even tell you what my boss said
I just forgot
It doesn't matter how long
I'm out I still feel as wrong
Not even March and all my sick days are already gone
Another zombie in drag
Without the will to attack
And nothing helps cause I'm a headcase
But I'll take it black

Yeah nothing helps cause I'm a headcase
But I'll take it black
Oh nothing helps cause I'm a headcase
But I'll take it black
