Starving Your Friends
Envy on the Coast
Thanks a lot
I've been disadvantaged from the start
You constrict the veins heading straight to my head
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead
I am braindead
Thinking 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 IV
Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's from nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be
Cause 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?
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
Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's from nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be
Cause 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?
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?
