Anesthetize
[Section 1: Anesthetize]
[Verse 1]
A good impression of myself
Not much to conceal
I'm saying nothing
But I'm saying nothing with feel

[Refrain]
I simply am not here
No way I-
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining, please

[Verse 2]
And because of who we are
We react in mock surprise
The curse of "there must be more"
So don't breathe here
Don't leave your bags

[Refrain]
I simply am not here
No way I-
Shut up, be happy
Stop whining, please
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo 02:55-07:14]

[Section 2: The Pills I'm Taking]
[Verse 1]
The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs
My head in the clouds and I'm zoning out
I'm watching TV, but I find it hard to stay conscious
I'm totally bored, but I can't switch off

[Hook]
Only apathy from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV, cod philosophy

[Verse 2]
We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies
Well, what is the point? What can money buy?
My hand's on a gun and I find the range, God tempt me
Well, what did you say? Think I'm passing out

[Hook]
Only apathy from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV, cod philosophy
[Instrumental Break 09:17-11:24]

[Hook]
Only apathy from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
It's all in me, all in you
Only MTV, cod philosophy

[Instrumental Break 11:45-13:30]

[Section 3: Surfer]
[Intro]
Water so warm that day (Water so)
Water so warm that day (Warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted)
I counted out the waves (Out the waves)
As they broke into surf (As they broke)
As they broke (Into surf)
I smiled into the Sun (Into surf)

[Verse 1]
The water, so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed their short life
As they broke on the shoreline
I could see you
But I couldn't hear you
[Verse 2]
You were holding your hat in the breeze
Turning away from me
In this moment
You were stolen
And there's black across the Sun

[Outro]
Water so warm that day (Water so)
Water so warm that day (Warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted)
I counted out the waves (Out the waves)
As they broke into surf (As they broke)
As they broke(Into surf)
I smiled into the Sun (Into surf)

[Instrumental Outro]
