Stitches In My Side

(album: The Junkyard Chandelier - 2003)

My heart's lost in the movies
My life's fit for TV
My thoughts are radio-friendly
What have you done to me?

Okay

I've seen all this before
My head's a civil war
When I'm bored, when I'm bored
But I'll do what I can
There's nothing in my plans
But staying sane
But staying sane

We wrote down our white lies
Until the ink ran dry
Then we quit, then we quit
The stitches in my side
Are coming out tonight
I'm through with this
I'm through with this

My record's never clean
It's what impatience brings
To my plate, to my plate
I was doomed from the start
So when this falls apart
I'm not my end
I'm not my end

Rummaging through graveyards
Of modern thought
And values long forgotten
I think we've all lost our minds
I think we've all lost our minds

Alright now

Now that I've paid my dues
My head's just one big bruise
And I'm sick, and I'm sick
But I'll do what I can
There's nothing in my plans
But staying sane
