Lyrics

Detox

[Intro]

Play that stupid piece of shit!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

[Verse 1]

I’ve got a feeling

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

With the wrong people

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

And I can't control my thoughts

[Verse 2]

I wish that I could sleep

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

And just get this over with

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

Hey! You mo'!

This is only high school bullshit

[Chorus]

I was warned

Absolutely numb

No good around people

Everyone knows and watches me

[Hook]

How did I get here tonight? (Tonight)

What am I doing here? (Here)

How did I reach this state? (State)

How did I lose my sight? (My sight)

I’m lost (Lost)

I’m freezing (Freezing, freezing)

And everybody knows (Knows)

Everyone's watching (Watching)

So here's (Here's)

All my hopes and aspirations (Aspirations)

Nothing but puke (But puke)

God, I'm so lonely

[Instrumental Break: Sampled Voice]

“The human brain

An unbelievable complex of nerve cells

That turn sound vibrations into pleasure

Meanwhile the package of blood

One step at a time

Will continue to be independently

Even after it has been removed from the body”

[Bridge]

I feel so alone (thought I’d try…)

Wait for… (thought I’d feel…)

Me!

How could I be such a stupid bastard?

Ah, you dumb bugger!

[Sampled Voice]

[Interlude]

I just want to feel

[Chorus]

I was warned

Absolutely numb

No good around people

Everyone knows and watches me
