[Verse 1]
Carved in stone
The date, the name
Wishing for an endless crowd
To make my mother proud
Picture perfect body
How I just want to be somebody
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A place to go
A stone to cry on
[Chorus]
So when the creatures are keeping me up at night
I take a good, hard look at myself in spite
It's all I think of, but I can't seem to shake
The shortcut story of my endless headache
[Verse 2]
I hope it shows
The flowers, the tears
The face I try to be
The struggle I call home
Will matter when I'm gone
When I don't have to bleed, no more, no more
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Let the worms
Eat my eyes out
[Chorus]
So when the creatures are keeping me up at night
I take a good, hard look at myself in spite
It's all I think of, but I can't seem to shake
The shortcut story of my endless headache
[Bridge]
The weeping choir doesn't matter at all
Just a deadbeat body underground
With nothing to show
It's hard to swallow that I'm only human after all
[Chorus]
So when the creatures are keeping me up at night
I take a good, hard look at myself in spite
It's all I think of, but I can't seem to shake
The shortcut story of my endless headache
