My imagination got ahead of me Dreamed up a future Now I wanna leave No sense of self-preservation How long until I reach my expiration? Lately I've been wonderin' where my better half is Then I hear the low rumble of the mattress My doctor said my brain is too much for my body So I can't get out of bed unless I'm on Ritalin When did it get so dark in here? How do I stay afloat on fumes? What if I don't wake up on time? Oh I could be of so much use If I only took my own advice Everyone says I should get some help But if I burn out I did it to myself My inner critic's made of stone My best ideas are still stuck in my notes Lately I've been wonderin' where my power went The only place I have control is in my bed Doctor said that the pace I'm going is a threat It's just gonna kill me slow So I might as well rest I'm high on gasoline The whir of gears The start of things The blood The sweat The tax I'm not your engine I was not designed to live like that Let it die Let it die Let it die Let it die When did it get so dark in here? How do I stay afloat on fumes? What if I don't wake up on time? Oh I could be of so much use If I only took my own advice
