Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gotta get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
[Verse 2]
Gotta get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
And I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
[Verse 3]
I don't know how to stop
Hey! I don't know how to stop
[Verse 4]
I got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
[Verse 5]
I know I've gone too far
Much too far I've gone this time
Don't wanna think what I've done
'Cause I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
[Verse 6]
There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out
Stars come down
Like a swarm of bees
[Verse 7]
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control
No self-control (No self-control)
No self-control (No self-control)
No self-control, no self (No)
[Verse 8]
You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
[Verse 9]
Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
[Verse 10]
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Hey! I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
