Take the Backseat, Casey - The Boy With Nothing to Lose

My stomach turns without your words
Oh how I miss the years of teenage angst
Compared they barely weighed me down
This adult anxiety has twice the body count
I'm hanging by a thread
Will I ever get this right?
I'm digging for coffins to take out the bodies
So I can put myself inside
I'm always the boy with nothing to lose
But this time I do
Hold still and close your eyes
I will play the doctor
We will be just fine
All we need is in this room
Under these sheets
Where you break me
They all want to try and fix me
Until they realize just how hopeless it is
I've seen that face you're pulling before
I don't expect you to act any different
I dare you, follow this one through
Hold still and close your eyes
You can play the patient
Now open wide
All we need is to fall asleep
On the gurney
You and me
But I'm stubborn
And I'll miss the cold
You follow your heart
No matter where it goes
I have anchors tied
To my blistered feet
Waste another hour
Another day
Another week
Since the lobotomy
My mind wanders off
But it didn't work
You're still in my thoughts
I'm not what you want
But it's all I have in me
Do you have a choice?
I hope the answer is no
Hold still and close your eyes
I will play the doctor
We will be just fine
All we need is in this room
Under these sheets
Where you kill me
Hold still and close your eyes
Wait until December
We can dream about outside
In the frame of the bars on my windowpane
I say please stay
