Dazed & Amused

(Album: Birthday Boy - 2019)

Waking up late at night
Don't know why
I just can't fall asleep

Watch the news and get high
What a life
This is all that I need

Empty on emotion
Dazed and amused
Sedated but I'm focused
That way I never lose

But then my blood starts pumping
Heart starts thumping
Earth all shaking
Mind goes running
I can't figure it out
I'm so confused

Thoughts start flying
Nerves start frying
Quick, quick breathing
I think I'm dying
Why am I freakin out?
I need the truth

Driving round in my car
After dark
I just can't be at home

Start a tab at the bar
Something hard
Get me out of my skull

Empty on emotion
Dazed and amused
Sedated but I'm focused
Oh what's the use?

Cause then my blood starts pumping
Heart starts thumping
Earth all shaking
Mind goes running
I can't figure it out
I'm so confused

Thoughts start flying
Nerves start frying
Quick, quick breathing
I think I'm dying
Why am I freakin out?
I need the truth (need the truth)

I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out

Hey, it's me. I-uh, well, I was in the neighborhood and I just stopped by to ruin your day. Come on, you thought you were gonna feel good all day? I mean, shhhh. That's not how this thing works baby. You just gotta get used to it... (used to it, used to it)

But then my blood starts pumping
Heart starts thumping
Earth all shaking
Mind goes running
I can't figure it out
I'm so confused

Thoughts start flying
Nerves start frying
Quick, quick breathing
I think I'm dying
Why am I freakin out?
I need the truth (need the truth)
