[Verse 1]
So I took my m
edication and
I poured my tr
auma out
On some sad-ey
ed middle aged
man's over-pr
iced new leath
er couch
And we argued
about Jesus, f
inally found s
ome middle gro
und
I said I'm cur
ed
[Verse 2]
And I've divvi
ed up my anger
into thirty s
eparate parts
Keep the bad s
hit in my live
r and the rest
around my hea
rt
I'm still angr
y at my parent
s for what the
ir parents did
to them
But it's a sta
rt
[Pre-Chorus]
But I ignore t
hings and I mo
ve sideways
Till I forget
what I felt in
the first pla
ce
At the end of
the day I know
there are wor
se ways to sta
y alive
[Chorus]
'Cause everyon
e's growing
And everyone's
healthy
I'm terrified
that I might n
ever have met
me
Oh, if my engi
ne works perfe
ct on empty
I guess I'll d
rive
I guess I'll d
rive
[Verse 3]
So I forgot my
medication
Fell into a ma
nic high
Spent my savin
gs at a Lulu
Now I'm suffering in style
Why is pain so
damn impatien
t
Ain't like it'
s got a place
to be
Keeps rushing
me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I ignore t
hings and I mo
ve sideways
Till I forget
what I felt in
the first pla
ce
At the end of
the day I know
there are wor
se ways to sta
y alive
[Chorus]
'Cause everyon
e's growing
And everyone's
healthy
I'm terrified
that I might n
ever have met
me
Oh, if my engi
ne works perfe
ct on empty
I guess I'll d
rive
[Bridge]
And if all my
life was waste
d
I don't mind,
I'll watch it
go
It's better to
die numb than
feel it all
Oh, if all my
time was waste
d
I don't mind,
I'll watch it
go
Yeah it's bett
er to die numb
than feel it
all
[Pre-Chorus]
But I ignore t
hings and I mo
ve sideways
Till I forget
what I felt in
the first pla
*
ce
At the end of
the day Lord k
nows there are
worse ways to
stay alive
[Chorus]
'Cause everyon
e's growing
And everyone's
healthy
I'm terrified
that I might n
ever have met
me
Oh, if my engi
ne works perfe
ct on empty
I guess I'll d
rive
I guess I'll d
rive
