I've been on the drugs, Broken arms with the medicine, Thrown in a hole I never dug, They say the white walls are for my betterment. They say it's for the pain, Say it's for your head. It must be on the outside, Inside I feel dead. Somebody pressed mute on the radio, Now my volume dial's broke on the stereo. Nobody hears me scream, That I wish I could let go. I wish I could grab ahold. Looking in the mirror but I don't see me, Just confusion and some emptiness, Shakespearean with no remedy. Woe is me, oh where is me? I feel like I used to be a better me. Now my volume dial's broke on the stereo. Nobody hears me scream, I wish I could let go. I wish I could grab ahold Another one down, Another one drank. Another time you tell me I'm fine. Another time I wish I was. I guess I'm not dead...

I wish I could grab ahold. Looking in the mirror but I don't see me, Just confusion and some emptiness, Shakespearean with no remedy. Woe is me, oh where is me? I feel like I used to be a better me. Now my volume dial's broke on the stereo. Nobody hears me scream, I wish I could let go. I wish I could grab ahold Another one down, Another one drank. Another time you tell me I'm fine.
