Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So anyway
I was about to say
Well i'm afraid
Of slipping right away
Ill prepared
I am so ill prepared
If you concentrate
You can learn it in a day
I'm so suicidal i can't see
I watch ren & stimpy on tv
And in the morning i will bleed
My life was wasted on me
On me
Yeah yeah
What is it
That keeps the beat in my chest
It makes me breathe
I never really knew
All these years
I have lived on my own
All my fears
Are slowly coming true
I'm so suicidal i can't see
I watch ren & stimpy on tv
And in the morning i can't breathe
My life has wasted me
On me
On me
On me
So i gotta think in straight lines
Stop accumulating dust and
Get a job of something i love
And respect myself and others
And i gotta see my own man
Find out who he is before long
And i gotta see my own man
Find out who he is before he
Yrch.
