Been a Drill

dress it up in the prettiest package, and hold on to my arm so I don't break through the plastic like I did last time, oh no, I've no self control when it comes to these things, when I intercept airplanes and monitor the babies, oh maybe he knows something that we don't, we can soothe our tense nerves, we work hard we deserve it, let's paint the town pink let's go out for a sink

and for once, I'm fine inside Benadryl, and she's so fine inside of me
where every minute is more of a thrill then the next lifetime could be

and at a young age fell in love with a mermaid who taught me to respect, taught me to behave the one thing she taught me I'd always regret was how to completely lose my head, so I grew up fast and I turned into cardboard, the burns that once healed, now turned into scars, and it turned out I turned out the way that they warned me I'd turn out if I never reached for the stars, but with so many stars how could I ever choose, oh and this was a challenge we were all bound to lose so instead I'll just reach for the bottoms of shoes, it's all the same energy, we're all being used, but when they pull the plug it's more like a drain and electrical surges meant to sustain we are dead on the surface, alive in our brains, swimming in circles, forgetting our names

and for once, I'm fine inside Benadryl, and she's so fine inside of me
where every minute is more of a thrill then the next lifetime could be

someone said sunsets are people who found how to finally change and escape from the ground, step outside this life and glow in the next, to rise and shine and eternally set, and so I crossed my legs and turned into a drill, thinking harder than ever, creating a sill that tapped into the lava to power my sunset in pink colored skies upon everyone

and it was no dream, it was Benadryl, and she's always been here with me
where every minute, it haunts me still and will for the century
