[Verse 1]

Indifferent to the people I detest

But, it harms me in a way that even I cannot detect

In my own flesh and blood (In my own flesh and blood)

I think I've had enough (I think I've had enough, I've had enough)

I welcome death with open arms like an old friend I haven't seen

Since I was young, when young was old

When daddy did terrible things

Maybe I'd feel better then, when I leave you like this

(Don't let me lеave, don't let me lеave, don't let me leave it all behind)

While some days are not that bad

And even pleasant, one might say

I can't control the thoughts I have

I can't control the present wave of emotion

Anxiously hoping for something or someone

For anything at all


[Pre-Chorus]

I can't imagine a life without familiarity

I can't imagine what it's like to live with certainty

I like to rewatch movies, so I know the end of every scene

I know the end of everything I do, because I won't ever leave my room

It's safer here, and safety's all I want and all I need

Buried my issues here, deep within the walls and in my dreams

In my own atmosphere is where I'll die, so, let me die in peace

I'm on my final breath, my final steps, I've never felt so free


[Chorus]

But my head's spinning

I can't help but think of who I'm abandoning

And suddenly my chest cries out in pure panic

It cannot end like this

I say with strength I haven't felt before and that's when it finally hits

With my hands sweating

I climb down from the ledge I once saw so threatening

But it don't cause me fear no more

My fingers touch the fabric of my jacket made of corduroy

Reminding me of Brentwood and the things that I would die to see again


[Post-Chorus]

Die to see again (Again)

Die to see again

Die to see again


[Verse 2]

From my jacket made of corduroy

I know what I stand to lose

My life, my soul, my time, my home, my thoughts

My sweet and sour youth

I can't let go of who I was, but I can cut myself in two

And I can pick up all the pieces

And let everybody choose (Ch-ch-ch-choose)


[Bridge]

Yeah, it's all in your mind, boy, it's all in your head

Leave it all behind, you can finish when you're dead

I'll be waiting for you here when this madness finally ends

Remember who you are, don't forget it


[Chorus]

When your head's spinning

Stuck in a room with the television on

While you're tripping on 'shrooms

You got your thoughts spilling

But none of it's true, it's a façade

Your heart can tell apart the parts that make it you


[Outro]

Hello again, it's nice to see you're back

Did you like the things you saw?

And do you finally understand why I wear corduroy?

I really like corduroy

Hello my friend, anything you'd like to ask

Any unresolved pollutions in your head that make you gag?

I'm just one call away

So please don't be afraid to call me back
