My whole life is an ashtray I've got a blackened soul
I don't know where I'm going but I'm not losing control
Well at least that's what I say before I fall into another hole
But I don't really mind it cuz you're here smokin a bowl
I won't look back at where I lacked
I can't really mind since I don't have a mind
And I don't really have the time to just sit around and whine
I'll just keep on telling myself I'm well myself I'm well
Well I don't think it's possible for me to ever be more happy than this with myself is what I keep telling myself
And maybe one day it will work and I can just chill the fuck out but until then I'm just a jerk
All the things that you tell me I can hear them but they don't sink in
I got locked out of this world and I can't seem to break in
But you're always beside me and I don't know how you understand
It's like we were meant to meet it's like this was all planned
Do you think I could maybe try to take your hand you're a gentlewoman
And I think that it's alright it's a very special night
Let's just keep on telling ourselves as well ourselves as well
Now I've fallen back into this place submerged in thoughts I can't erase
Someone help me out or help me die I'm just like this I don't know why
Everybody tells me all the time I can't read between the lines
I'm too busy trying to find where I lost my mind
The holes getting deeper and I'm losing all control
And I'll never tell you so you'll never have to know
