lyrics

Multiple choice, pick and choose
Who do you think will win?
'Cause someone's got to lose
Will you draw the line?
Will you pass the test?
Now that you're trapped inside of this hectic mess!
This life's tidal wave, it's pushing me to the edge
Will I get through this mess before I'm dead?
Survive an undertow that's turning me inside out
My sphincter's squeezing, my hands are freezing, my stomach's freaking out!

My head - It's split in two
My head - What will I do?
My head - Can I buy some time?
My head - I think I lost my mind

Damn, my to-do list is way too long
I've barely got time to sing this song
Day by day, one by one
I keep working my ass off 'till the day is done
This life's tidal wave, it's pushing me to the edge
Will I get through this mess before I'm dead?
Survive an undertow that's turning me inside out
My sphincter's squeezing, my hands are freezing, my stomach's freaking out!

My head - It's split in two
My head - What will I do?
My head - Can I buy some time?
My head - I think I lost my mind

I've got this funny feeling
Something's just not right
Twisting and turning in my bed all night
This stress has got me down
This stress has got me out
This stress has got me evaluating what I'm all about

Lost out at sea
Where no one can find me
Swimming amongst a coral reef in my own lunacy
Numb to a cold that doesn't even hurt
The only pain that I can feel
Is way down in my gut!

My head - It's split in two
My head - What will I do?
My head - Can I buy some time?
My head - I think I lost my mind
