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
