[Verse 1]
I think I hate you now
When I look back, I really hate you now
Twisted and torn, I'm fucking inside out
Boozy words come the wrong way out
My suffering isn't over with baby, pacify me
I'm alone and I'm playing roulette with my enemy
Relaxation is strangulation
My minds been fucked, mental fornication
[Pre-Chorus]
Catch me as I fall
I'm crawling up the walls
Push me to sleep
Don't talk, talk to me
[Chorus]

Dead, uh-huh
I'm done but not dead, yet
Uh-huh, not dead
[Outro]
I'm not dead
Yeah, yeah
I'm not dead
Yeah, yeah
I really think you should sit down, slowly
Take a happy pill and think everything over
You feel much better now?
You feel much better now?
You feel much better now?
