Slept It Off

Mice have taken refuge in my car's air conditioner And I'm about to declare all-out war Because this is the car I need to use to go out on tour And the frustration of a lack of proper foundation Is maybe why we saw that guy tear out his eyes and loose his mind But I once heard it's the complex combination of a chemical reaction And the decision is not even yours And I guess it's the season to unconsciously stream uneven And I guess it's the reason you've only felt like you've been dealing And all you want is healing, but your mind is constantly plotting treason It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off So I lost the battle to the enemy So I shook his hand because I was beaten into defeat But now I'm wishing that I was just a little bit more petty But sometimes that's just how things go When you go toe to toe, with forces that you don't know You can retire but that weight is god damn heavy And no one wants to go out on a loss And no one wants to see that belt strapped on someone else So you volunteer yourself to be strangled in a mayday scarf And hung from a tree with its bark carved off With different shades of color covering you up When you pull yourself out of the grave That someone you don't know made Rubbing the snow from your eyes When you look outside Will it look sublime? Or more like an earthquake? It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off It's a birthday celebration of an occasion you forgot So you tied a rose and spoke a poem and went home to sleep it off
