I'm an animal, I'm a victim
I'm the answer to your prayers
I'm a witness on a witch hunt
I'm the monster up the stairs
I'm the ghost that's in the mirror
I'm everything that you fear
I'm the ripped heart, I'm the soul shot
I'm the voice that's in your head

I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane

I'm the hunted, I'm a predator
I'm the answer to the riddle
I'm the upbeat, I'm the hurt f*ck
I'm the window smashed in the middle
I'm the player, I'm the naive
I'm the one who's not addicted
I'm the logic to the f*ck up
I'm the broken one who fixed it

I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane
I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane

I'm just a child with tears in its eyes
I am holding this gift that is broken
What do I have, left now

I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane

I've seen it all, still can't taste it
Smashed to the wall, it brought me to my knees
I've done it all, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, wasted
Still in my blood, but now inside I'm sane

Now inside I'm sane

Wonder how I didn’t die
This is not my life, I’m no survivor, I only happened to survive
Wonder how I sleep at night
Well I count pink elephants, blessings, and skeletons
Down the days I have left, with one eye open
That was me screaming, “♥♥♥♥♥, I am reality”
Then stumbling off to lose myself in a brown paper bag 'cause me and Sweet Evan Williams got a date down on Avenue A
Staving shakes, scraping change till daybreak
Turns out anyone can eat out the trash
Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash

I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head

Waste not, want not borrowed time
Lender knows I’ve tried to make it right
Give back my life, and if not
Take it, 'cause lately I been thinking maybe I could
Take it or leave it, if I can’t at least break even, then I’m leaving when
I been feelin' this awful since I hit bottom and
Said, “Hand me my shovel, I’m going in!”
Oh brother, man, you call that recovered?
Tripped on a couple steps and collapsed on the stairs
Broke my neck on the backs of those who I’ve hurt and scared
Like it’s a good thing you said, “You’ve got your whole life ahead”
Oh great, another half a century to live to regret
I’d rather be anybody else instead

'Cause I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head

Sober, but still so much hangs over
Please believe me when I say that I’ve poured my whole past down the drain
Say that a second chance is a chance I can take
But I can’t make amends for things I can't remember
I can only say I'm sorry and occasionally pray
Guess you’ll just have to take my word that I’ve changed
After one thousand EIGHT Hundred TWENTY FIVE DAYS

I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, hand me my ibuprofen
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
