The morning gets colder
And the music fades
Snow falls through my window
So I pull the shades

Tried to go back to sleep
But now I'm wide awake
I'm sick of suffering
From the give and the take

Breakfast tasted so sweet
But the breath mints were sour
What I wouldn't give to sleep
For another hour

Put my jacket on
Walked out into the cold
Even though I'm seventeen
I feel like maybe I'm getting old

My soles are getting worn
And my socks feel soaked
Every time I open my mouth
My words do nothing but rock the boat

Empty streets, dim lights
The moon still hasn't set
I've seen so much
But I'm just starting to get my feet wet

The only thing that feels warm
Is the hair on my head
From the hat I recieved
When I learned grandpa was dead

As I walked I saw a couple
Just holding hands
It made me wonder
"What happened to simple romance?"

In the past few weeks
All I've heard is sex
No one talks about love
Just the hickeys on their necks

When I got home
I tried to sleep it away
It seems no matter what I do
Nothing can go my way

Nothing special ever happens
But I can't complain
Why should it bother me
If life is overly mundane?

I've been up twenty-two hours
Masturbated nine times
It keeps my mind off the fact
That tomorrow is Valentine's

Won't be alone this year
Since I found true love
Even though my past experiences
Said I'd had enough

The weather brings sickness
The spread of disease
It got ahold of my love
And brought her to her knees

So I spent Saturday alone
Cruisin' the internet
Just trying to pass the time
Trying hard to forget

But now it's six in the evening
And I haven't done shit
Seems like nothing I say
Is ever taken as legit

I live with a couple
Of chaotic fools
Thank God I'm leaving this fall
To head off to school

I still love them both
Even thought they make mistakes
They just drive me insane
Every moment I'm awake

And the neighbors next door
Are raising up hell
If they weren't around
Then things would be swell

One's fucking my sister
Who's only fourteen
And the one in seventh grade
Keeps coming on to me

Why do all the girls I know
Reveal all their secrets?
Or talk to me about
Why they haven't found a guy like me yet

I'm not so sure
That I'm the best in the land
I think the real problem
Is most guys don't understand

That sex is a game
Where we all lose
But love's a sure thing
So why's it so hard to choose?

I want to go to sleep
But my bed's too small
Maybe the real problem
Is that I'm just too fucking tall

I'm not tired
But I got a long day ahead
I don't have time to think about
How I'm twice as big as a twin-size bed

So I sit here naked
Looking up to the stars
My thoughts interrupted
By the sounds of crashing cars

The only thing that keeps me sane
Is my acoustic guitar
Keeps me under control
Until I hit those double bars

Back to reality
Where everything sucks
But I can only blame myself
Because I don't believe in luck

I'm not depressed or angry
Even in times like this
But at times like this I can understand
Why some people slit their wrists

Pain reminds us that there's something
That we can still feel
It makes the heart cry
It makes the skin peel

Guess what else I found out?
Dad's having an affair
He told me today
On the way to the auto fair

I'm starting to think
That everyone cheats
Am I the only on who doesn't lie
To the people that I meet?

Is it so hard to be faithful?
Why break the rules?
We treat other human beings
As merely our tools

Am I really alone
In thinking these thoughts?
I thought we lived with virtues
Then again, maybe not

Should I become that?
Should I lie, cheat, and steal?
Should I not tip the waiter
When I pay for my meal?

Being a jackass works so well
For everyone else
Will I be successful
If I conform myself?

I'll do what others do
I'll be unoriginal
I'll be a better person
When my thoughts turn to null

But I like who I am
It's them who I hate
All I know that is true
Are the words I create

The hours seem like years
The meters go on for miles
I find it hard to believe
I'm the one in denial
