True Crime
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.
Something is broken, broken to the core
Infection is growing, pulled until it's tore
Should I call the Dr.? - probably ought to
What's he gonna say? - go away
The thoughts keep a coming, coming, coming
Make em go away, make em go away
It's a high time for a true crime
It's a bad sign my heads not screwed on right
Sleep eludes me and I'm needing it, needing it tonight
I know a way to stop this...but I'm not sure if its right
My heart keep pounding and feeling it, feeling it tonight
Help me stop the headaches- you haven't earned it
Tell me what to do, I think you know
Get it out of my skull - you're skull? My skull
Just leave me alone - never gonna go
Say how's the medication?
Bad reaction - do you even know? What I'm on - maybe take a Valium?
Then gimme, gimme-it'll help you get alone
It'll help me get alone
It's a high time for a true crime
It's a bad sign my head's not screwed on right
Sleep eludes me and I'm needing it, needing it tonight
I know a way to stop this...but I'm not sure if its right
My heart keep pounding and feeling it, feeling it tonight
Nighttime is talking to me, taunting and calling saying
Got you, get you, it's inside you
Talking to me yeah it's talking to me all night
It's a high time for a true crime
It's a bad sign my head's not screwed on right
Sleep eludes me and I'm needing it, needing it tonight
I know a way to stop this... But I'm not sure if its right
My heart keep pounding and feeling it, feeling it tonight
My head is talking. I'm feeling it, feeling it tonight
