lyrics

"I've got a mind full of junk,
and a body with despair,
livin' it up in the sweet country air.
Your subconscious goes too deep,
you find I'm so very different
from all the luny kids who claim to be abducted.
You know, it seems to me...
It seems kinda crazy.
Betty says it's special but it feels kinda hazy to me.
So I'll spit words from my mouth that came out of others,
but what I really believe makes me hide in the covers at night.

I've got my back against the wall,
I've got my back on the wall.
I can't tell if I'm losing control...

Betty's having nightmares!
Betty's having nightmares!
She's dreaming a sequence of what we may have shared.
What is the time?
My watch seems to have died...
Keeping up with this is causing troubling times...

I've got my back against the wall,
I've got my back on the wall.
I can't tell if I'm losing control,
or if I'm holding it in...

We're in the same car,
but I think this is the perfect metaphor
for how far we really are apart.
You smell like smoke...
Is this some kind of elaborate joke?
Getting back at me for all the songs I wrote?

We are the unforgivables.
We are the ones in altered states.
We are the ones you should've lost.
We are the friends that you forgot.
We are the unforgivables.
We are the ones in altered states.
We are the ones you should've lost.
We are the friends that you forgot."
