Plug Me In

she screams and screams
letting me know i let down all her dreams
i sit complacently and look back at my victory
i pulled the rip chord and let myself fall in the misery
the broken mirrors didn't know what we had in our hands
but i knew that it was broken ground when i pulled those strands
and the hair fell out one by one this is how i control the damage
drink it down with one more blot of ink
when will these thoughts clear so i can think?
i'm lost again, with no ties to confidence
back at the start, running from L.A. to Providence
as i pass the city streets
and look at the faces so beat
i've done nothing for you
and i'll give no hope to the rest
its best that we pass this test
and lay the starvation down to rest
because you could live without me
and i could act like i wore you out productively

i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
plug me in, i can carry on forever
just plug me in

this night is the night i kill the past ties
and walk away from every last one of your lies
its good enough, to just forget about your life
this is what i know, and i walk away from your tone
its apathetic when you hold my hand
while i sit here and drown, you continue to abuse the sound
the hallways are empty and the fines are hefty
you shouldn't have parked when my heart was heavy
between you and me, i've got a disease
i feel introverted when i act extroverted
and i hang myself from these waves of infection
i pass on this kiss of mislead direction
fall in love with these lips, they spread the taste
and you can feel it when you're about to win this race
you've beat me to the point of no recollection
and now i want to sit in my undigested selection
you never knew exactly how far i took this intervention
so she screams and she screams, letting me know about things
i can hear you, and i can feel vibrations panic brings
because you could live without me
and i could act like i wore you out productively

i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
plug me in, i can carry on forever
just plug me in

i don't believe anymore, when i did, i felt like a whore
now i'm waiting for a sign, something more than a rhyme
and something more than just another suicide note to find
this death has no meaning, except another experience in our dependency
the ball of lies bounces back from you to me
i walk with a limp, while you treat me invisibly
no more dreams will i keep in captivity
and never more will i leave without a sense of urgency
what needs to be done, needs to be done
so take this pill and place it under your tongue
if you read me right, you can feel it in the stomach
i'll sit in your eyes while you watch me act like a manic
tonight, i'm breaking these ties between you, me, the crowd, and the lies
you'll receive the signal over the telephone lines
pick up the receiver with expression of every kind
you can live without me acting so benign
because you could live without me
and i could act like i wore you out productively

i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
i don't sleep because i'm scared of what you think
and i don't sleep because that's when death will seep
plug me in, i can carry on forever
just plug me in
