What's wrong?
What is wrong?
What is wrong.
We build tolerance to love
faster than any drug.
I've got this brain fog
and a hole in my pocket
that's cost me way more
than a new pair of pants.
I've got some pill bottles
and double dose-
I always forget about the first.
I've got this idea-
Let's drill holes in our skulls,
spill out more ideas
uninhibited
and let out some steam,
tilt our heads
and pour a glass of our brains.
Gray matter doesn't matter
with high hopes and dreams.
Hang em high on the clothesline
let the wind take em away.
I'm trying to sleep
but forgot to do laundry
now three quarters and a lighter
clanking around in the washing machine.
These dogs next door
won't shut the fuck up
and you didn't shut the door when you took off
so now the wind's coming in
hissing like bad chemistry
blowing leaves into the kitchen
but I won't get up.
The air's getting cold,
and so am I.
If the universe is expanding,
why do we collapse?
What is wrong?
What is wrong.
Now let me explain...
