lyrics

Old sailor Jerry, he wasn't so nice
He had a hook in my brain, he picked and cut and spliced
I didn't like sailor Jerry, he begged to stay the night
And in the morning he made coffee, what a treat.

When the ambulance came, he laughed, I said I'd had it
He looked at me, hooked at me, said "Your mind, or all your habits?"
I spit and kicked and faced
The only written page
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Oh what a manical man in the mirror
They told me to lock her away, now I'm nearer
Where is your love?
I can hardly feel it
You have been gone
I don't know how to feel it anymore

Out of body. Hallucinating small dots as if I stared at the song for too long. Overtired, what is happening and why? Need to calm down, want to drink, I feel sick to my stomach. And man, this is panic, this is so fucking manic! Think of nothing but at the same time - work, no sleep, alcohol over consumption, weed, action packed week, adderall, need xanax, benzos, something to feel okay, am I okay or wasting away?
Think I'm twisting, tiring, bending, snapping, breaking, wasting, ripping, snapping, cracking, grinding. Fuck!

Oh what a manical man in the mirror
They told me to lock her away, now I'm nearer
Where is your love?
I can hardly feel it
You have been gone
I don't know how to feel you anymore
I miss you
I miss you so
