What's that phrase, about pulling teeth?
It kind of rang true, but it wasn't quite you
There's something there in the back of my mind
It's a little unfair and a little unkind
I don't mean to be mean
I'm not trying to be cruel
But trying to talk to you is like getting a tetanus shot
I fancy myself a bit of comedian
I laughed so hard I drove across the median
I amuse myself, it doesn't work around you
I'm one of a pack: idiots surround you
Putting up with my shit, holding your breath
I guess it just hasn't hit me yet
CHORUS
I don't need you at all
I don't want you to fall
Put your back against the wall
Should I stay? It's your call...
Our lips once met across a crowded room
I hoped I'd see a reason soon
Another wasted night I don't want to see you
I sympathize but I wouldn't want to be you
Trying to find a link it must be well hidden
Can't get in sync I can't find your rhythm
CHORUS

Something is not working right In my toaster, in my life
I am always getting burned
That's the only thing I've learned
The whole is greater than the parts
I guess I'll take those parts apart
Find out just what makes them tick
Find out what makes me so sick
I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried
To rout out all the enemies inside
CHORUS
It worked for my machine but it didn't work for me.
I tried to break it down but all the
Little pieces wouldn't come around
Put them all in little cups
So I would not mix them up
Carefully labelled and categorized
This one's fingers, this one's eyes
Careful notes in bad hand-writing
I know this all sounds so inviting
I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried
To rout out all the enemies inside
It worked for my machine but it didn't work for me.
I could not read what I wrote
Not even one single note
All components now mixed up
Tried again without much luck
Reassemble, resurrect Incomplete, imperfect
Reassemble in distress
All the tension, all the stress
I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried To pull out all the enemies inside It worked for my machine but it didn't work for me.

I tried to hold onto what we had
I tried to believe it wasn't all bad
But the lack of depth had to overcome me
The lack of length couldn't be blamed on me
It's hard to hang on to your dreams
In a world worn ragged at the seams
Yeah yeah yeah
I lie on the concrete staring at the sky
Watching another satellite go by
No cars in the streets no lights in the windows upstairs
Cold concrete glass garage affairs
Chorus
Yeah

The leaves around my feet are dying
The trees around my crown are crying
Knock me down, turn around
See if I get up again
The decades and the second flying by
I try to grasp as many as I can I try
I don't know what year it is,
Let alone the day, the day, 'cause
I'm already dead
I'm already dead
Never felt better than the day I realized
That I was already dead
I want to be in the place I was conceived
Lying naked in the dying leaves
It feel like I'm already dying
I'm already
Clay from the yard where I am laid
Sunbathing naked in my grave
I went back the other day
It was exactly the same
I'm already dead
Weather vane
Always the same
Weather vane
Is always the same
Don't hold your breath
Don't lose your head
Save your breath
Cause I'm not dead
