Live at The Camel

lyrics

Wait, the timeless debate, egg on your face
Will I see the light of day?
I ate, such a disgrace
No time to waste
They wont be the end of me

But I've been feeling so much pain
lately I may go insane
And If I die before I wake
Would you even care?

You have no self esteem
I saw you in a dream
And I don't know why
I can't be the one to pull the plug
I'm not that type of guy
But I've been locked in rooms and tubes
Up in the sky and I want to come down
All I need is to be set free
You know I'll fulfill my own destiny

But I've been feeling so much pain
lately I may go insane
And If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
Would you even care?

Should I walk the way you want me to walk
Should I do the things you want me to do
Well I wasted my last cigarette on thinking about you I'm not the guy

Should I talk the way you want me to talk
Should I wear the clothes you want me to wear
As if I were a mannequin with salt and pepper hair
And bloodshot eyes

No I wont be the one to save the world
There's a war inside my head
I'm too preoccupied with wondering
I think I'm bout to hurl
I wont be the one to save the world
I'll be the one who
I'll be the one who runs

Can you let me off your hook and throw me back
Cause I'm so strung out I'm gonna have a heart attack
And no one wants a free ride on a train without a track oh no
Misery loves company please take me off your guest list
I wont let your sadness be my downfall
You see my shiney happiness on the front seat of a Chrysler at the mall

No I wont be the one to save the world
There's a war inside my head
I'm too preoccupied with wondering
I think I'm bout to hurl
I wont be the one to save the world
I'll be the one who
I'll be the one who runs

Why do I run why cant you see
That I'm running to be free
And deep down inside I think that you're a runner like me

(Ooohh)
