The Bumpercar Blues

You sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do Well I hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true My mind is a desert and this conversations dry It's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie At the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn If I caught on fire would you watch me burn Would you watch me burn I try to phase it out so I could extend my disbelief I never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief Well it's easier to understand when you don't know how I feel This whole damn situation just seems so unreal Time heals all wounds There's not much of a choice If I screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice You wouldn't hear my voice I feel like I'm in a bumpercar and I just got knocked off the track 'cause I just put on the straw that broke the camel's back Blinded by the light so I can't see three feet in front of me It's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction I try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter I know you're going to stomp my head into the ground But could you be a little quieter Could you be a little quieter, oh I'm trying to get some sleep here, oh I'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep Please, thanks, quiet sleep, please, thanks, quiet sleep, thanks Please, thanks
