[Verse 1]

"I hope my head will heal

I hope my head will heal

I hope my head will heal

I hope my head will heal

It's all I ever wanted to feel

All well adjusted"


[Pre-Chorus]

I can't feel this way anymore

Feeling this way got to be

Got to be

Got to be a bore


[Chorus]

Got to be a bore


[Verse 2]

"I hope my head will heal

I hope my head will heal"

It's problematic and compelling

A corrupt disguise

"I hope my head will heal

I hope my head will heal"

A flaming martyr with the pangs

Of a Jesus Christ

"It's all I ever wanted but I'm

So self destructive"


[Pre-Chorus]

I can't feel this way anymore

Feeling this way got to be

Got to be

Got to be a bore


[Chorus]

Got to be a bore

Got to be a bore

Got to be a bore


[Guitar Solos]


[Verse 3]

So simple unassuming selfless

Human acts of grace (Got to be a bore)

With a murdered ego I go

Surely this can't be vain (Got to be a bore)

To know what you want knows

The essence of all insane (Got to be a bore)

As I am we are

I am all all all insane


[Pre-Chorus]

I can't feel this way anymore

Feeling this way got to be

Got to be a bore
