I can feel my heartbeat in my feet
Where ever they lead me never feels right
I never chose this path
Those five fingered beasts just lead me here
They told me I was in charge

I try, I try hard
But something tells me I've been scored
Ten to one, My number my's as well be none
I said she's the one
I'm just too selfish to give up

That's why I take a walk to visit the straw man in my backyard
Cause he's the only one who could possibly understand
When I can't even talk to myself

And when a warm body leaves your bedroom
You wonder why you ever let it happen
You're stuck in your head alone
She's gone, and you're just stuck in bed

And when you've scraped the bottom of the barrel
And your heads frail from the wind
Maybe you'll float off to an alien land
Where they can recognize you for being human
Like I never did
