The sun sets And the moon appears on everything I should've been. My brain is like an hamster running on one of those wheels Running...thinking...running Once you stop thinking Once the slate is blank Perhaps you'll be happier Or perhaps it'll be just the same You asked to disappear But you should've asked to stay You wanted to paint a picture But you should've tossed the metal brushes away You needed to flush away your mistakes But you should've just said no Or perhaps maybe you shouldn't have downed your mistakes in the first place The world might never know You should've controlled your rage You're a fiery one but that's not what they want at all You shouldn't have given your self away You're corrupted unholy and just sick You should've went to college Should've got a job But instead you're just wasting away Thinking about yesterday

What you should've done
The sun sets And the moon appears on everything I should've been. My brain is like an hamster running on one of those wheels Running...thinking...running Once you stop thinking Once the slate is blank Perhaps you'll be happier Or perhaps it'll be just the same You asked to disappear But you should've asked to stay You wanted to paint a picture But you should've tossed the metal brushes away You needed to flush away your mistakes But you should've just said no Or perhaps maybe you shouldn't have downed your mistakes in the first place The world might never know You should've controlled your rage You're a fiery one but that's not what they want at all You shouldn't have given your self away You're corrupted unholy and just sick You should've went to college Should've got a job But instead you're just wasting away Thinking about yesterday
