Make fun of my hair
And call me not quite worth it
Take in what I wear
If only I were perfect
And then you wish that you could find
A girl who wasn't stupid
Cause all the pretty ones are dumb
This skirt was supposed
To make you kinda want me
But she seems real nice
I can't deny she's pretty
I drink my drink and now I'm scared
Of what my mouth is saying
And wish that I could fix my hair
Maybe tonight I'll sleep
Maybe tonight I'll cry
Maybe tonight I'll quit asking myself why
If the TV is on then I sometimes can get to sleep
The night always makes me feel lame
It's harder to forget my brain
Oh oh
Take care of your lies
They're all that you have left now
That time that you said
The thing about the stuff oh
What do you think of how I smile
Can you tell what's behind it
And did you like it for a while
Maybe tonight I'll sleep
Maybe tonight I'll cry
Maybe tonight I'll quit asking myself why
If the TV is on then I sometimes can get to sleep
The night always makes me feel lame
It's harder to forget my brain
Oh oh
I think if I think
Another thought I'll say it
Don't you ever think?

My number's out of service
Leave a note under the door
I'll get back to you if I wake up today
I try to find religion
But it all sounds dumb to me
Might be cool with it but I'm too tired to see
I walked by where you work today
I felt my stomach drop
I wish that I could make it go away
This feeling like I died that way
The more I live life
The more I fail
Each year goes by and takes me from myself
The more I fail then
The more I see
You never win, there's no prize
The best that you can do is try
My bed feels like my whole world now
I think I'll never leave
I've got cereal and all the new TV
Cause when I venture outside
It's an empty gaping hole
A never ending sea of people in the cold
And even when I sleep now
I am haunted in my dreams
The thought that I am only what I seem
Won't go away
It stays and stays
The more I live life
The more I fail
Each year goes by and takes me from myself
The more I fail then
The more I see
You never win, there's no prize
The best that you can do is try
But what if I made the most terrible mistake
By letting go of who I was just to find you
Or what if I'm all wrong
And if only I was strong
I'd get you and then myself back in the process
The truth is though
I'll never know
The more I live life
The more I fail
Each year goes by and takes me from myself
The more I fail then
The more I see
You never win, there's no prize
The best that you can do is lie

The Drain

This pack is out, I shouldn't buy a new one
You always said one day I'd lose control
There's a deli down the street
Where all the local losers meet
I think I'll put on your old t-shirt and go there
I cut my hair a way you wouldn't like it
I hate it too but there's the price of spite
I haven't slept in days
I keep finding different ways
To stay awake so I can dream about you
You are the drain inside of me
The nighttime isn't mine, I'm just a stranger there
The screaming girls and fun time boys abound
In the bars and in the cabs
Everyone's just making stabs
Bleeding out all of the people there around them
You are the drain inside of me
I threw out all my clothes that I used to wear
I hang out with losers, I try hard to laugh
Don't call me, I hate you, I love you, you know
I can't even sleep now, I can't even dream
Cause my dreams are yours they don't belong to me no
You stole all of the sleep I'll ever have
There's a park I like to go
Where there's no one there I know
It's the only place I do not think about you
You are the drain inside of me
