I'll be a joker
I'll be a thief
I'll be anything
that will bring some relief

I'll walk the mile
I'll cross the line
I'll do anything
that will make me feel fine

for it's been too long in this pain
and I'm too close to going insane
before they lock me up for something
I don't know I did
I've got to do something
I'll do anything
before I blow my lid

I've been starving for so long
the pain has gone numb
I don't know where I've gone
don't know what I've become

I may not trust myself
so there's your excuse to do your worst
I should have taken mine
when I had the chance to quench my thirst

but I was kind
oh I was good
I did exactly
as I should

and look at what I got for being kind
impaled on my own kindness 'till I 'bout lost my mind

and it's been too long in this pain
and I'm too close to going insane
before they lock me up for something
I don't know about
I've got to do something
I'll do anything
I've got to let it out

can a mother let go of her kids
while they're still alive
can a father let go of his kids
and still survive

when the great experiment
comes to you
what will you do
how will you make it through
to the other side
when the best part of you was stolen
and the rest of you died

and it's been too long in this pain
and I'm too close to going insane
before they lock me up for something
I don't know how to do
I've got to do something
I'll do anything
I've got to let go of you

slash and burn
turn the sprinklers on
stand in the cold rain
stop the pain
turn off the brain
too close to insane

but I was kind
oh I was good
I did exactly
as I should

and look at what I got for being kind
impaled on my own kindness 'till I 'bout lost my mind


and it's been too long in this pain
and I'm too close to going insane
before they lock me up for something
  I don't know I did...
