Overstayer

I should've drowned in the flood with the rest I had the chance The current was pitiless And proof of man was wiped from the face of Earth The song, the dance Yeah, I should've gone with it Alas, alas, I'm stranded alone in the wake Now I have lost all sight of the grave When did I ever say that I wanna be saved? I can see for miles but it don't look the same When no road has been paved go up Go up Go up Go up Now how am I gonna get down? I want a slow death wrought from the dregs "I wanna be sedated," just like Joey said I want the heaviest heart I have eaten my weight in gold I can see only what I'm shown up here But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things Love cannot find us So get out of my way I got out of my own way Better a tramp than a captive Better alone than lonely with all these "friends" What in the fuck am i doing here? Why did the rapture not take me in? It is my curse to carry on I should've died when I was young I should still be burning lung If I had known what I'd become I should've drowned in the flood with the rest I had the chance, but here I am
