The Bumpercar Blues

you sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do
well i hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true
my mind is a desert and this conversations dry
it's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie
at the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn
if i caught on fire would you watch me burn
would you watch me burn

i try to phase it out so i could extend my disbelief
i never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief
well it's easier to understand when you don't know how i feel
this whole damn situation just seems so unreal
time heals all wounds
there's not much of a choice
if i screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice
you wouldn't hear my voice

i feel like i'm in that bumpercar and i just got knocked off the track
'cause i just put on the straw that broke the camel's back
blinded by the light so i can't see three feet in front of me
it's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction
i try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter
i know you're going to stomp my head into the ground
but could you be a little quieter
could you be a little quieter
oh
i'm trying to get some sleep here
oh
i'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep
please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet, sleep, thanks
please, thanks
