lyrics

I am my own best enemy and my worst friend
And if you separate my pieces I’ll be whole again
I will be there even if I don’t want myself there
I am the chewing gum I spat in my own hair

There is a glitch in the system
The clock is flickering zeroes and ones
A phantom itch in a phantom limb
Recurring twitch in my weary eardrum

And it’s a funny little feeling
To keep waking from the same damn dream again
And if the devil’s in the details
This blurry vision keeps him hidden like an impulse
There is a different part of me there
That is nocturnal and that only breathes the night air
I’m always ripping out the stitches
But you can still see the hole from the needle
The darned pieces keep on tearing
In this same old habit I been wearing
And I’m harvesting my own pain
Swinging cynical sickle at a migraine

And I’ll mash up all the pieces
Til I can no longer recognize the faces

And it’s a funny little feeling
To keep waking from the same damn dream again

And it’s a funny little feeling
To keep waking from the same damn dream again

And it’s a funny little feeling
And it’s a funny little feeling
And it’s a funny little feeling
