Northbrook - Small Towns And Insane Asylums Are One In The Same lyrics
rate me<br>
They call these states united <br>I'm isolated from the rest <br>Might as well call this state "catatonic" <br>It's keeping me depressed <br> <br>And all my friends back home are busy living out their lives <br>A life I should have had, a life of which i've been deprived <br>This overcast's reminded me before <br>(A million times, it's told me) <br>That I don't live in the sunshine state anymore <br> <br>So, I'll sing into the sun until it sets, and i'll shelter no regrets <br>When I leave this hell, I'm headed for a place that I'll call home <br>And it doesn't matter who will miss me when I'm gone <br>'Cause in spite of it all, I've never felt so alone <br> <br>I've hit a social crisis, I can't pretend that it's alright <br>It's a problem when I write this down at 3 o'clock at night <br>It's sad enough to say that my best friends are on the Net <br>A net to catch me safely when I fall <br>But when I'm the sweetest, nicest senior guy these local girls have met <br>It's worse to say they don't know me at all <br> <br>So, I'll sing into the sun until it sets, and i'll shelter no regrets <br>When I leave this hell, I'm headed for a place that I'll call home <br>And it doesn't matter who will miss me when I'm gone <br>'Cause in spite of it all, I've never felt so alone <br> <br>You might think I'm crazy <br>But my dreams, they keep me sane in a place that's so inane <br>That the locals have no sense of direction <br>And I don't need a compass, cause the only way is out <br> <br>Check my vital signs, I'm living in a blank computer screen <br>Well, this self-incarceration is how I made it through the year <br>It might sound masochistic, but it's nonetheless serene <br>When compared to the pretentious mess of people living here <br> <br>So, stop me when I've said enough, and I'll be on my way <br>You'll be drowning in this standing water until you do the same <br>And I'll tell the world I finally made it out alive <br>Good riddance to the hell I left behind <br>Good luck to my friends as I wave goodbye<br>
