lyrics

Lately I ain't been doing so well
Can't escape from my personal hell
I guess in a way that I've only myself to blame
But I truly can't handle this all
I've been breaking down in a shopping mall
A call to my mother is all that kept me sane

Perpetually lost in a conniption fit
I try to keep calm, but I can't seem to quit
Letting the thread that holds me together come loose
Until I start to think, how could anyone not
Be equally damaged, feel so distraught
I try to stomach just watching the five o'clock news

So I've realized that all of mankind is a
Bastard child to Father Time
Who made a whore of our sweet Mother Earth
With no decent example set
We treat her in ways that we'll soon regret
As we start to see that it's only ourselves we've hurt

So I've learned that my life will be hard
I've been placed on the face of a playing card
You made me your king so I put a sword through my crown
My Queen of Hearts left me, decided to bolt, so
Tell me brother, who wouldn't fold
I waste away rotting in this empty house

Oh I know I can be so mean
I'll tie you up and bathe you with gasoline
Then sarcastically ask you if you want to smoke
Yet you see some good in a broken man
Knowing I'm trying the best that I can
Attempting to keep my balance on the tightrope
