Acumen Nation

Bender

sometimes the fear and the alcohol
paranoia and a migrane claustrophobic in the balance of my skull
sometimes the plug pulls at the bass
at the bass note of my heart
denying to ever too weary it's turned to

sometimes the nausea's keeping in
like a heart when rubber blanket clings like butter
while holding me sweetly
sometimes we love imitating you
comes in handy just when you
find it oh so trendy to be stupid

did you think that I would ever
sink so low
now you know just how far you can push
so I tell you to smile
when you see what I've done
and I'll tell you to smile
when you see what I've done

sometimes the glass and paper move or seem to take
so plenty of good after me look
plenty of pills that might fail

sometimes when your life is a wreck on the freeway
and everyone is watching
pull the plug release the valve
relax, and let them overflow

did you think that I would ever
sink so low
now you know just how far you can push
so I tell you to smile
when you see what I've done
and I'll tell you to smile
when you see what I've done
smile
smile
smile
did you think that I would ever
sink so low
now you know just how far you can push
so I tell you to smile
when you see what I've done
and I'll tell you to smile
when you see what I've done
smile
smile
when you see what I've done
