It gets loneliest past midnight
Down at the liquor store
Trace the chainlink with my fingers
The burning neon lights
Guide the pavement under my feet
Empty bottles fill the sink
I'm sprawled across my empty room
While the youth choose suicide

You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own
You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own

It gets darkest before morning
When you know you should be at home
Always the doctor's favorite patient
To swallow bitter pills
It scares me to know you won't be around
Now that there's no more mystery
They say I'm wasting my days chasing
They say "don't let it get you down"

You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own
You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own

You think you know but you really don't
You think you know but you really don't
No, you really don't

You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own
You think our life is such a dream
Well, we don't see what you see
I think I'm injury prone
I can get hurt all on my own
