Overachiever

[Verse 1]
Thoughts in my head
Drift around like lead
Won't go away
Go away or I'll be forced to retire
They'll put my number in the rafters

[Verse 2]
Why does it rhyme?
Does it always have to fit in a box?
I think outside a lot
A hole in my head
And I don't know where my sledgehammer went

[Verse 3]
Make it go away, go away
But not too far away
Living like a dad
It's no big deal that he's never here
And he's never coming back

[Chorus 1]
There's a key, there's a key
I can't find it, but it sounds good to me
Open sesame
I look like a dog
But I'm all cat inside
I dress like a slob
There's no more feeling in my toe, that's a lie
I can't tell you why I see all the ghosts
Not in my closet anymore

[Bridge]
They're in my room, they're in my room
They're in my bathroom
They're steaming up the mirror
They want us outta here
It's just like you said
There's a ghost in my head
You live and then you're dead

[Chorus 2]
Ask my mom and believe her
When she says I was an overachiever
A cool demeanor
In its place, there's a fever
There's a boy, he's alive (He's alive)
He's a little eager beaver
Ask my mom and believe her
When she says I was an overachiever
Why did he leave her?
In his place, there's a fever
There's a boy, he's alive (He's alive)
He's alive, he's a leader
