If it ever adds up to isolation
Tap me on the back and I’ll find the train
Being alone takes it out of me
While walking away takes me

Embarrassment, is that all I can find?
In the nooks and crannies, in the burrows of my own mind
Will I prove myself? My masculinity
Oh God, examine
Please examine me

The wasted photographs
Infestation means another man’s trash is not my treasure
Yes, ownership does have it's perks but not mine
No, not mine
Don’t do this to me, they’re not mine

The yearned for autographs
Infatuation means another man’s trash is indeed my pleasure
Yes, ownership does have it's perks but not mine
No, not mine
Don’t do this to me, they’re not
They’re not, they’re not mine

Would somebody else hold the rifle for once?
Is this disease kicking in or are the headphones letting me know who it is that I am?
Checkpoint’s blocked by the sea
Everyone seems so sad, or is it me?
Or is it the small huntress with the kite?
Cause I don’t know what to think
Of all the consumers inside her small figurative heart
Would somebody else hold the rifle for once?
Is this disease kicking in or are the headphones letting me know who it is that I am?
Checkpoint’s blocked by the sea
Everyone seems so sad, or is it me?
Or is it me? Or is it...
Or is it me?

Where are all the pills you take, the pills you take?
These pills you take to disguise your hollowed horse
Breathe in the fumes you make to take back what’s yours
I wish I were you, I wish I were you
If no one will read it, put the pen down
If no one will read it, put down the pen
Take me away with you, take me away with you
Place me in your tale, give me the part
I wish I were you, I wish I were you
I wish I were you
Ambition always doubles the weight of the world
I wish I were you, I wish I were you
I wish I were you

And when it's done and we’re all gone
Into the night we will run
I am here, boy, I am here, boy
And in the night, the depths will prove
Who was wrong and who was right
I am wrong, boy, and now wide awake
I am wide awake
I am wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
