No one means what they say
|
And you can tell as clear as deep-sea fish
|
All internal organs and glowing eyes
|
I¡¯ve been good, I¡¯ve been busy
|
I¡¯ve realized my friend¡¯s true intentions
|
Cut all ties
|
I¡¯ve been doing ten thousand pushups a day
|
Plastic cube filled with pus that sits atop my supervisor¡¯s desk
|
The feeling of ice on the inside of a wrist
|
Always tired, need a nap
|
I have to make myself brush my teeth
|
I¡¯ve made a list of everything I¡¯ve ever owned
|
When the days bring nothing new
|
And the sound of laughter makes you sick
|
And snide
|
You know you¡¯ve got the jitters
|
Nothing¡¯s wrong, I¡¯m just fine
|
I¡¯ve realized I just don¡¯t like jokes
|
I¡¯m thinking of moving I can¡¯t call anyone back
|
You can tell every time they lean away
|
When you just want to talk
|
You couldn¡¯t buy their interest now
|
Stolen cars in a heap
|
A naked body on the neighbor¡¯s yard
|
When they let you down on cue
|
When you give up way before you even try
|
You know you¡¯ve got
|
You¡¯ve got the jitters
|
They glows as they near
|
Then disappear
|
Like highway signs on a starless night
|
And it¡¯s so hard to tell who¡¯s being fled
|
And who¡¯s in flight
|
