Escape from the ZOO
Sluggin’ Back Bandaids
[Verse Paul Jonassen & Jesse Sendejas]
Its 3 am, I'm chugging space-bag in the shower
'Cause I can't sleep, the insomnia is killing me
The bugs invaded and their feeding never ceases
So I'm clawing, til my sores are all bleeding

I try to ease my mind
With a glass of red, red wine
But I need to down a fucking fifth to even feel it
My bodys laden with these injuries from chasing dreams
But I can never ever ever ever allow them time to heal

[Chorus]
So I slug back my band aids
And every sunrise I rip 'em all off
And smoke up some stitches
And hope that they hold me together
'Cause I'm falling apart

[Bridge - Paul Jonassen]
Uh uh!
Okay!
Uh uh!

[Verse - Jesse & Veronica Sendejas]
My lungs are burning and my muscles are collapsing
From the running I've been doing
I've come to realize there is no escape
Vultures are circling my peace of mine
I just want to relax and unwind but I can't
Without a bottle, pill or pint
So I struggle always on every little thing
[???] go away
My [???]
Whats undermining all my plans?
My minds a saboteur
My brain and I will stay at war
Until I find a substance that
Puts us back on the same page

[Chorus]
So I slug back my band aids
And every sunrise I rip 'em all off
I smoke up some stitches
And hope that they hold me together
'Cause I'm falling apart

[Bridge - Paul Jonassen]
Rah rah!
Okay!
Uh uh!

Yeah!
Yeah! I...
I'll escape from the zoo on my own!

[Verse - Veronica]
I'm self destructive, a run away train
On a war path, no direction
But I can't complain, I did it to myself
My decisions are prisons and I'm locked away
I'd like to think I'm a good person
But every robot would suggest that I'm not
I'm a scum bag again, just waiting to fill up a grave

[Chorus]
Slug back my band aids (okay!)
And every sunrise I rip 'em all off
I'll smoke up some stitches
And hope that they hold me together
'Cause I'm falling apart

I slug back my band aids
And every sunrise I rip 'em all off
I'll smoke up some stitches
And hope that they hold me together
'Cause I'm falling apart

[Spoken - Paul Jonassen]
(cigarette drag, exhale)
