Lyrics

[Verse 1]
​​I crawl in bed, close my eyes
But I never can sleep
There's a violence in the silence
And it's comin' for me
Oh, the paranoia, it's creepin' closer
Swimmin' in my head like a Great White
All I need is anything
To distract me from this empty feeling
[Chorus]
Build me up
To feel the fall, and
Fall in love
To break my heart
I'm bored and I'm broken
I'm self-destroyin'
At least it's something to do
Oh, the drama of it all
Oh, the drama of it all
[Verse 2]
I desperately wanna think
People are good
But if you'd seen the things I'd seen
I don't know if you would
A Friday night in, I'll get too high, and
Keep checkin' my pulse, am I dead yet?
All I need is anything
To distract me from this empty feeling
[Chorus]
Build me up
To feel the fall, and
Fall in love
To break my heart
I'm bored and I'm broken
I'm self-destroyin'
At least it's somethin' to do
Oh, the drama of it all
Oh, the drama of it all
[Bridge]
It's all just for the fun of it
Are we having fun yet?
[Chorus]
Build me up
To feel the fall, and
Fall in love
To break my heart
I'm bored and I'm broken
I'm self-destroyin'
At least it's somethin' to do
Oh, the drama of it all
Oh, the drama of it all
[Outro]
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
In the next life, I wanna come back
As a house cat, as a house cat
I wanna be sedated
Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours ago
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport and put me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane
I'ma sit and play in the sun
I'll be a fuckin' cute sun of a gun
