I've been trying to shape up
Shape up and raise a hell
But it's so hard to wake up
'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding
From the weight of the thoughts inside
These are my thoughts escaping
Through the ventilation shaft
Though my words weight a ton
They can hardly ever come out right
This is an emergency call
'Cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my voice singing off
I'm trying to shout
But no sound comes out
This is my heart singing off
I've been trying to catch up
Catch up with the fuzz
But it's so hard to wake up
And even catch the bus
Well, this is my concentration
Leaking out into the drain
These are my lungs
Breaking down from too many cigarettes
And though my words could save the worlds
They never come out right
This is an emergency call
'Cause I haven't seen the light
Only cowards need help to get by
Only cowards need friends to survive
