I hear you're still living as an emotional vagrant With bright red vacancy signs blaring in your eyes Well my heart might be shot, but at least I've still got one Maybe you should try meditating on your wrongs I do it all the time and it really helps me calm the urge To desert my woes 'Cause if I did, who knows What awaits behind the gates of this limbo? ♪ It must be hard to stay ahead of such deadly apathy When you become bored so easily And every new fixation feels like it'll fix everything But you're always finding new ways to feel defective Is your failure to connect just your way of protecting yourself? When your attention starts to wear You just can't bring yourself to care But in time you're gonna find yourself Ensnared by your own self-absorption Can't seem to hang onto a decent mood They pass right through you and then fade like a dream Leaving only hypnopompic howls To follow you around all day And they don't go away, they just gnaw at you Until the next soft-hearted sucker comes your way
