[Intro]
Have you ever woken up and wondered where you are and why you're naked?
You are now listening to Headache

[Verse 1]
I used to take my breakfast off of a mirror
Now I just walk around and stare at people in the park
You think I care about what's happening to me?
Even my demons have demons
When I last saw Monica, she told me she never wanted to see or speak to me ever again in her life
She doesn't get it, nobody gets it
I can't remember the last time I got a good night's sleep
If you really think about it, life shouldn't feel this strange
If I could just figure out what the old woman wearing that salmon-pink snakeskin jacket wants from me
I'd feel a whole lot better
Doesn't she have a job?
Do I have a job?
It's not normal to sit outside someone's apartment the whole night long
But then again, what is normal?
Do you think I'm normal?
Say I'm normal
Please, for fuck's sake, please say I'm normal

[Verse 2]
I don't know what you want from me
I could never do that contemplation shit
Someone told me once that if you have more than three major concussions before the age of seven, you're fucked
I had eight
And anyway I'm not interested in knowing
I'm just tired, so tired
Something went wrong
Something went really wrong a long way back
And now I don't know, now I'm just doing this
One morning, you wake and you want to shave your head because the insects living up there have started to throw parties they aren't inviting you to
And you tell me I'm crazy?
I just want to live, I just want to feel something
Anything, anything
There's so much shit in the world
There's good, bad, mad, sad, ugly, happy
But I just love beauty
I think about my friends sometimes
Their lives, their failures
They don't know where I am
I wonder if they miss me
I miss their stories, the stuff they leave unfinished
The words they leave behind, the good they drag after them
And the destruction they create
But above all, above all, I remember the love
I remember sitting on my uncle Mario's knee
While he told me about the man he killed in the Embarcadero in August 1999
I remember the girl with pigtails in her hair asking me why I look so sad when I was supposed to be feeling happy
I remember climbing on a statue in my grandmother's garden while serious guys in suits walked around talking to each other
There was a lot of blood around back then
A lot of laughter, but a lot of blood too
And I mistook the laughter for love
I forgot the color where I came from
Now my taste is me
And sometimes it's a little too sour
The streets are so dead
How is it so easy to leave this world behind?
It feels like the world's a dream
Right up until I remember the smell of her hair blowing in the wind
You aim for my eyes, but you forgot that the heart is where all the action is
[Outro]
This one goes out to all the ghosts
I love you
