The Bumpercar Blues

you sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do

well i hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true

my mind is a desert and this conversations dry

it's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie

at the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn

if i caught on fire would you watch me burn

would you watch me burn

i try to phase it out so i could extend my disbelief

i never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief

well it's easier to understand when you don't know how i feel

this whole damn situation just seems so unreal

time heals all wounds

there's not much of a choice

if i screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice

you wouldn't hear my voice

i feel like i'm in that bumpercar and i just got knocked off the track

'cause i just put on the straw that broke the camel's back

blinded by the light so i can't see three feet in front of me

it's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction

i try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter

i know you're going to stomp my head into the ground

but could you be a little quieter

could you be a little quieter

oh

i'm trying to get some sleep here

oh

i'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep

please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet, sleep, thanks

please, thanks
