Xerxes

I'm swimming in a wasteland

But today's my day no matter what

'Cause everybody feels that i'm undone

When I'm left loaded with my dose

And I'm going to the friday pot roast

Yeah

When I take a little pill

I just feel like I'm built to spill

I do wonder if anything helps

And I do wonder if anything helps

I'm standing at the drawbridge

I either cross over or I wait

Yeah

But when the tide begins to rise

And i slip on the gopher's back

When i'm moving to the end

Oh, no! Let me be, I made this decision myself

And I do wonder if anything helps

I do wonder if anything helps

Wouldn't it be nice to be on a wavelength

But I feel there's nothing left to save

Yeah

Either retreat or give it all up to the sins

Flutter as a soul moving from tree to tree

If only this could be me

Yeah

Away from the drug conspiracy

Where we can not hold our thoughts

For the better they fuck our heads

Tear our ideas down to shreds

And I do wonder if anything helps

I do wonder if anything helps

Xerxes come please hold on to me

Xerxes stay with me and set me free

Let us go far from those who try

To mold you how they like you

Creates something that is untrue

Yeah

And when the death rate begins to drop

Little green pills start to stop

And all the people begin to fall

Energy slows down to a crawl

And no one's caring for you at all

And everyone's waiting for their call

And when the death rate begins to drop

Little green pills start to stop

Oh they stop

And if that name's running through my head

And that feeling's running down my blood

I do feel that i'm a man of death

Now that she's come into the play

And I do wonder if anything helps

I do wonder if anything helps

And I do wonder if anything helps

I do wonder if anything.
