[Chorus]
I walked four thousand paces on the back porch spouting nonsense last night
And I threw nineteen cigarette butts in an empty beer bottle that I left on the other side
I’m sure the people passing by started trembling and counting out my steps
I’m sure in all the fog I was a vision from a horror movie set
[Verse 1]
But the voices in my head are more fearsome than any B-movie slasher
I’m sure if any one of them had seen the faceless man I’d seen they’d be heading for greener pastures
It’s such an overdone cliché but I’ve made all my dreams into reality
It’s even more overdone to say there’s a hell inside my head
But if you cracked open my skull you’d see where all the fallen angels went
[Refrain]
And they want out
And they always get their way
And they’re with me
In the searing of the sunlight or the gorgeous winter morning painted gray
[Verse 2]
I keep holding onto her like she’s the only living thing that I have left
It turns out that I never did she’s all I have left of me before I went
It’s taken years to get here and I’m so scared of the void that I dread comes next
It took her leaving it for me to see I was the only monster in my bed
And I’ve got ninety fucking minutes of myself crying over her on tape
And someday I hope I can come back and laugh at my mistakes
Maybe I’ll be happy despite the illusion of the concept seems to me
Maybe the [?] can ease its grip on me
The demons in my head locked under fifteen tons of concrete
[Refrain]
And they want out
And they always get their way
And they’re with me
In the searing of the sunlight or the gorgeous winter morning painted gray
[Chorus]
I walked seven thousand paces on the back porch spouting nonsense last night
And I threw nineteen cigarette butts in an empty beer bottle that I left on the other side
I’m sure the people passing by started trembling and counting out my steps
I’m sure in all the fog I was a vision from a horror movie set
[Verse 3]
I’ve got a few thousand reasons to be happier than I seem to get
I feel guilty for the way I feel and all the shit I’m not over yet
I know I’ve got no reason to be the crying angry mess I am today
It’s just the chemicals in your brain, get over it and move on
Take some pills and smoke some cigarettes
You’ve got no leg to stand on
[Chorus]
I walked seven thousand paces on the back porch spouting nonsense last night
And I threw nineteen cigarette butts in an empty beer bottle that I left on the other side
I’m sure the people passing by were trembling and counting out my steps
I’m sure in all the fog I was a vision from a horror movie set
I walked seven thousand paces on the back porch spouting nonsense last night
And I threw nineteen cigarette butts in an empty beer bottle that I left on the other side
I’m sure the people passing by were trembling and counting out my steps
