woke up at hell in the morning

it's something neverending
still we're pretending
anyway,
i remember driving around in the rain
feeling permanently insane

here's the contract
now we're honor-bound
something lost is never found
it's missing in the dark
it's a shot in the park
it's a long walk
off a short branch
it's a local bank
it's a hum drum mental mentality

you lost your marbles
long, long ago
but you still remember playing
well now it's for real
fightin' just to feel
everyday is just too fuckin' surreal

so i'll take that paycheck
i'll take back that energy i spent
and take it back with interest
i'm interested now

yeah, but it's too soon
and i'm too late
too little
ya think?
