I've been trying to shape up Shape up and raise hell But it's so hard to wake up 'Cause baby, I ain't well
This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation-shaft Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight
I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off I'm trying to shout But no sound comes out This is my voice signing off
I've been trying to catch up Catch up with the fuzz But it's so hard to wake up And even catch the buss
Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes And though my words could save the world, they never come out right This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light
Only cowards need help to get by Only cowards need friends to survive
