Quiet Commotion - Bug Zapper Lyrics

I'm going to bed
Live others instead
Imagine I was dead
Paint the chaos red

Sometimes it's just there
I know all effects
Wish i was like the rest

When you close your eyes and don't feel a sting under your skin does that mean you have had a decent night?
When they tried to tune you all the strings inside you snapped and now all that's left are tear ducts in your eyes

Useless images
Of stars inside your eyes
Useless dead romance
To keep me up at night

When you spend all your time hiding in public bathrooms does that mean that you have had a decent life?
Because you can't keep eye contact or hold a conversation like a freak who only lives at night
You sit in a remote corner collecting dust and growing old and nodding till you're all worn out
You've only got a few years of your life left and more than half will be spent working from nine to five
So pull yourself together you're a man and not a feather, with your face stone cold you'll stay alive

I'm not gonna die, but if I roll the dice just right
I'll be a butterfly and live my only life in one night
I'm not gonna die, I wish I could for just a second
Be a butterfly or all the mice out on city streets

[Excerpt from "the five people you meet in heaven"]
