[Verse 1]

I've been trying to shape up

Shape up and raise hell

But it's so hard to wake up

'Cause baby, I ain't well

[Bridge 1]

This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside

These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation shaft

Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right

This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight

[Chorus]

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my voice signing off

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my heart signing off

[Verse 2]

I've been trying to catch up

Catch up with the fuzz

But it's so hard to wake up

And even catch the buzz

[Bridge 2]

Well this is my concentration leaking out into the drain

These are my lungs breaking down from too many cigarettes

And though my words could save the world, they never come out right

This is an emergency call 'cause I haven't seen the light

[Chorus]

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my voice signing off

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my heart signing off

[Verse 3]

Only cowards need help to get by

Only cowards need friends to survive

Only cowards need help to get by

Only cowards need friends to survive

[Bridge 1]

This is my head exploding from the weight of the thoughts inside

These are my thoughts escaping through the ventilation shaft

Though my words weight a ton they can hardly ever come out right

This is an emergency call 'cause my head explodes tonight

[Chorus]

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my voice signing off

I'm trying to shout

But no sound comes out

This is my heart signing off
