Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher We just got carried away.

Lately, it seems like my dreams are startin' to die.
It occured to me, on the inside, I guess so have I.

And I can't eat; I can't sleep, oh, but thank you for comin'.
And why do we always laugh while we're the last ones comin'.

Standing right here on my defeat.
Enjoy it now 'cause it won't repeat.
Someway, somehow, the things that keep me alive aren't livin' here anymore.
