TIME - Thanks Dad, Sorry Mom lyrics

rate me

If pain is a mind state then I'm trapped in Texas

With an empty bottle of Percocet

And a wrinkled brow folded with regret

Shadow displaying a slouched silhouette

With curse words behind me and a casted off taken for granted sunset

Teeth chattering, from amnesia

Living a moment my memory with dilute

Atrophied tongue, with a swollen ankle and a pair of crutches

For a pair of feet touching a yellow brick substitute

Floating from the numbness while the moths keep hitting near my light bulb

I got an IV of life and more tape on me then a broken window

Bladder paralyzed, the sunshine peels my fermented skin

Bolts in my kneecap, wrench in the trash

Tyler Dirten's laughing

Eggs for breakfast and lost time for dessert

But these children keep hatching

My eyes look like raccoons, flesh under my nails

And blood on my pillow from the scratching

This is life, this is life, it's so fun

This is life, this is life, I have none

This is life, this is life, it's so fun

This is life, this is life, I have none

I took a leap of faith and they found me on the rocks

My clock doesn't tick it's just a bunch of tocks

I'm going here and there, but I'm standing still

The people walk on by just looking for a thrill

They're looking here and there to rise above the dim

They don't even realize they have to look within

To ride your highs and endure your lows

As long as coasting nothing will change that's just the way it goes

Now, forewarned is forearmed but I only have two

Ones usually in a cast and deflated lungs got me feeling blue

Pliers on molars, assistant holding my tongue back

Teeth falling out but I'll never get a gum graph

Hospital rooms echo with silence

And to make a living I slave in the basement

Yawning in doctors' offices, painting myself with patience

Let my retinas constrict to the glow

Slit me ear to ear and watch my smile grow

There's paper cranes in the sky and metal birds making clouds

Almost had my life paid for

Now I'm wrapped in a blanket of shame but my parents are still proud

Everyone else is a landmine for heartbreak

But I keep stepping on backs with a bloody knee

And my ears ringing from the explosions

And I keep a brace around my Achilles

Cause I don't like babies and never trusted a Trojan

And when my voice gets hoarse from the yelling

I strap a saddle on until laryngitis takes full effect

Gallop off the cliff and ride into the ocean until my scalp is wet

I took a leap of faith and they found me on the rocks

My clock doesn't tick it's just a bunch of tocks

I'm going here and there, but I'm standing still

The people walk on by just looking for a thrill

They're looking here and there to rise above the dim

They don't even realize they have to look within

To ride your highs and endure your lows

As long as coasting nothing will change that's just the way it goes

This is life, this is life, it's so fun

This is life, this is life, I have none

This is life, this is life, it's so fun
