Less Than Human

Oh, I have become Satisfyingly numb Conceal the way you feel tonight Oh, I have succumb To a saturated crumb Deal with the pain I feel damn right I...have...become...undone, A neglected, sad boy Ease the dread frustration Just give me some joy Give me this bravery Give me attention The right that's loverly Feels like I'm in detention But, Lithium gives a helium high This rum and coke, I can't deny Give me something more Not this feeling of sore I will soar somehow I want to, want to now Not another pill to swallow Or I'll feel less than human and hallow Heartache and sore throat Got me by the gravity afloat Got me in your grasp once more Just let me free through that door I have been down with the fever... Yet, I survived and am a believer... I...have...become...undone, A neglected, sad boy Ease the dread frustration Just give me some joy Give me this bravery Give me attention The right that's loverly Feels like I'm in detention But, Lithium gives a helium high This rum and coke, I can't deny Give me something more Not this feeling of sore I will soar somehow I want to, want to now Not another pill to swallow Or I'll feel less human and hallow Just think for a moment Don't you want freedom? Gotta start to repent...in my only tent... Captivity makes us feel numb Don't you want me to be happy? Instead, you make me feel crappy I...have...become...undone, A neglected, sad boy Ease the dread frustration Just give me some joy Give me this bravery Give me attention The right that's loverly Feels like I'm in detention But, Lithium gives a helium high This rum and coke, I can't deny Give me something more Not this feeling of sore I will soar somehow I want to, want to now Not another pill to swallow Or I'll feel less human and hallow Oooh...let me feel love above all I'm sick of being as stiff as a wall I wanna belong, so I made this longing, tear-jerking song Hoping someone out there can relate and sing along...along... I wanna be gone, so I grab remaining hope I wanna belong, so let me sing as I hang on this radiant rope Boy, I...have...become...undone, A neglected, sad boy Girl, ease the dread frustration Just give me some joy I never meant to annoy... I want to...I want to bring you joy... Hm, a bravery That's loverly...
