Life Cab for Ugly

I talk to you like through a pane of glass

My voice crackles, a bad receiver

Pressed against your shoulder

Did you expect to break the barrier

Between your mind and us outside of it?

Well I just don't believe there's time

To learn how to make peace before we die

But should you make your escape

Buried under a mail pile

Wherever you go you still carry with you

The skin you love to retreat into

Did you expect to break the barrier

Between your mind and us outside of it?

Well I just don't believe there's time

To learn how to make peace before we die

But a brain doctor has a stroke to feel better

And sociopaths prefer their coffee tastes bitter

But us addicts flail, lost, tripped out in a downpour

Where only laughter exists

All trauma cleansed in a cold shower

Take better care of me

Break character for you

Break character for me

Take better care of you

But who draws first?
