lyrics

I might mix amphetamines and benzos today
and see if my friends are around to start a fire in my driveway
I have a hard time reading books
I hardly crack open my King James every day
I don't even look at the stars anymore
I'm like the Taylor Swift of anarchy

Oh bed, heal my sleepless eyes
Wake me up when this war is over

Since I was a little boy I always had an obsession with opiates
Relieve all the pain, physical and emotional
Beneath this sea of bodies lies a battlefield
No bugle sang more sadness than Johnny's Sunday buried bones

I woke up feeling weird today
What's today, is it Sunday? I'm not sure
This week's been a blur
and I can't remember what I said or did to make you disappear
and leave me here alone
And I can't go back to dreaming
I can't go back to the memories
I can't picture happier days waiting to take me away
Ask him if he wants to talk
See if you can help
Say it's been a while and you want to catch up
But he'll say go away
Go away.

When will he come home?
