Steady, hands are strangling the steering wheel Could you turn it around and take us someplace better? Burning rubber on the same old roads With the highway soaked in the half-moon heavy glow Heavy glow Heavy glow Steady, you're as potent as a chemical Like the ones I take to regulate my mood swings Swaying steady as a metronome They just wanna keep my time all to themselves To themselves To themselves If I could take my poster bed everywhere I went I could throw the fight at the bell And collect all the money that I bet against myself I would make me a killing and I'd have a place to lie down Lie down Lie down, down, down Steady, serotonin in a human form You could always hush the fusilade of gunshots So much closer than they were before Now the bullets are poking holes through my cellar door Cellar door Cellar door If I could lift this aftertaste from my bitter brain Let the world dissolve against my tongue Give me aspartame for my caffeinated thoughts The barista knows my name but spells it wrong Every night I check myself back into the hospital 'Cause you can never be too sure I follow all the coloured lines down the corridor 'Til the strangers in the hall felt like family Hold me tight, we're spinning on a ferris wheel All the lights below are a billion burning candles One for every time you let me down Disappointment comes as easy as another breath Another breath Another breath
