Dinosaur Jr.

Cant believe a single word Ive said
And every subjects the only one thats dead
And theres nothing from my side
Just yourself
Youll split
Ill began
bout to fight
Greatest stories pass, in my mind
Must be a better way to pass my time
To think the focus just belongs to me
Selfish man, I know Im nothing to me
So when I thought I had more to say
Swimmin in my head
Chained to this corpse
For one more day
Little lies start around
Not a show, feel so down
And I struggle right inside out
Reach the wall, spiral down
Retchedness
Im hardly standing still
Ill be there
Sometimes thinking right
I cant believe I was chosen to exist
cause only jesus christ can slit his wrists, he says
So though we kill this need to always understand
Cut the world and tell me it fits on the back of your hand
