It tears me up when I know that you can’t see
Empty eyes that want to stare back at me
It’s not that you owe me any of your time
But I’m all alone, so bored that I want to die
Where’d you go
I dunno
Are you home
I dunno
Don’t know what’s happened to me
Feeling so low to the ground
How did I get so lost
How come you can’t be found
Can’t be alone with my thoughts
But I can stay busy for now
How did I get so lost
How come you can’t be found
Racked my brain to come up with what to say
But I got too high and wasted my whole damn day
I’m cut off and I feel like I can’t get through
Guess it’s only fair to be treated how I treat you
Are you home
I dunno
Where’d you go
I dunno
I think that something is wrong
Feeling so low to ground
How did I get so lost
How come you can’t be found
I wanna get there too
I don’t know if I’m allowed
How did I get so lost
How come you can’t be found

Staring at the wall
Answer all my calls
Told a friend that we’d meet up at 10
And forgot til I crawled into bed
Watch the days click by
I just sit and sigh
been a week since I went outside
how the hell did all this time go by
I make so many plans I never follow up on
They swirl around in my head til I pick one to give up on
Thought I’d try a few of em out now that things are getting pretty lean but I
wasted my whole day by staring at the alienation machine
I just lie in bed
Feelin like I’m dead
Thought all this would leave more time for fun
now I get even less shit done
Thought I’d feel alive
With all this free time
Just watched tv until my pupils burnt
And now I guess it’s back to work
I make so many plans I never follow up on
They swirl around in my head til I pick one to give up on
I had to give in to all this activity inside my head
I couldn’t handle it so I abandoned it and drank instead
It’s hard to function when your brain is on fire
And I keep wondering how things got so dire
I hate to say it but I need my fix
How the hell do people live like this
I get drunk just so that I can feel something
Experience an altered state just to function
I wish I was built to handle boredom
Why is it so hard to just feel normal
I go to sleep at night wondering how I pissed away so much time
Or I start to drink at three so it won’t bother me I feel just fine
I made a list for today that it’s time to give up on
I make so many plans I never follow up on

What kind of man would put a bullet in his face
All the president’s best men are on the case
Jackie wants to find the man who killed her beau
Give the people what they want and they just wanna know
Who killed JFK?
I did yesterday
I did just to watch him die
To make his wife and children cry
We’re sposed to watch him on TV
and hear that awful Boston screech
But I won’t just lie down like that
For some steel baron’s Military brat
It’s a question they will ask for centuries
How could someone kill a man as great as he
To tell the truth I thought he was a pompous ass
His tailored suits and dime store haircut made him look like trash
Who killed JFK?
I did yesterday
I did just to watch him die
To make his wife and children cry
Now he’s dead like FDR
I shot him in his fancy car
Don’t care about the bay of pigs
I did it cuz I hate his ugly face
He had a lot of fans while he was still alive
But I must admit he didn’t seem like a nice guy
He did a lot of drugs and cheated on his wife
With actresses and secretaries and a spy
Who killed JFK?
I did yesterday
I did just to watch him die
To make his wife and children cry
I don’t even know where Cuba is
Just didn’t like that voice of his
I’ll never see the light of day
I’ll be dead too cuz I killed JFK
