Runnin' for an Earhole

And I'm runnin' for an earhole
Looking for the exit sign
To outside my mind
Everybody wants to talk, and I want peace
When I want to be alone, you call on me
And I'm tryin' to breathe through Brillo pad lungs
When I want to go to sleep, that's when daylight comes
And I ain't ready for tomorrow, or is that today?
You insisted that I borrow, then refused to let me pay
[Chorus]
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
Lookin' for the exit sign
to outside my mind
And I'm runnin' for an earhole
Lookin' for the way
to that neon garden
where I used to play
When I'm lookin' for an answer, you confuse me every time
When I get off on probation, you go and do a crime
And I'm tryin' to see through extremely blurry vision
When I start not to care, you start thinking with precision
When I'm stallin' for time, why do I live so fast?
And you're hoping for a future, while I'm livin' in the past
[Chorus]
All my childhood pictures had sunny skies and sparking eyes
Not being allowed to feel can kill
Why do we let it get so real?
[Chorus]
I was just a kid
I was just a kid
Were you there?
Were you there?
Hey, were you there?
Were you there?
Yeah...
