lyrics

Boy you got some nerve
Boy you got some nervous way about you
When the synapses fire in your brain
You should hear the things you say
They sound insane

Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself

I’m sick of war
Tired of how people treat people
I’m sick of this chapter
Tired of living for the sequel
No I don’t wanna die
But this ain’t how I plan to stay alive
Off living some other life
As a bad actor playing a better guy

Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself

He forgets his lines
And stares and stutters and tries so hard to be witty
As he drills and hammers his brain
And spills the remains on the streets of New York City
So push my head into your hands
Apply pressure where you need to
Oh I do anything for you if you promise to be see-through

Things you can’t explain to anyone else
Things you can’t explain to yourself
