She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favorite song

The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

She'll never know that she made it up

She had a soul and we ate it up
Thrown away like a paper cup
The music falls


The only flaw in her detailed plan
Is where she wins back the love of her man

Everyone knows that he's never coming back

He took her heart and she took his name

He couldn't stand taking all the blame
He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked


Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company


In the dream I refuse to have
She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath

We're left to deal with the aftermath again

On behalf of humanity

I will fight for your sanity
How profound such profanity can be


Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company


Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Near where I live there's a viaduct

Where people jump when they're out of luck
Raining down on the cars and trucks below


They've put a net there to catch their fall
Like it'll stop anyone at all
What they don't know is when nature calls, you go


They say that Jesus and mental health
Are just for those who can help themselves

But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

From the very fear that makes you want to die

Is just the same as what keeps you alive
It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth


Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company


Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs

My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
Another died and the world just shrugged it off
