Don't know how to let you love me I'm floatin' somewhere outside my body
I'm livin' in third person view can't you feel my ghost reachin' out for you
Hand of God is reachin' down I can't seem to get up off the ground
My God, if she only knew her X-ray eyes see right through

Castin' blame switchin' lanes to keep you off my trail
I was sick and tired of hurtin' you couldn't stop myself, I've been dry for a year
You're still here, there's still plenty of work to do
I'll spend the rest of my goddamn life makin' it up to you

That's the price I must pay to keep that monster at bay
Mister Hyde is not my friend He's always waitin' for me to go out there again
To that point of no return prayin' this time that I learn
To love this world I'm livin' in instead of longin' for oblivion

Can't you see I'm too tired to pray
So let these tears say what I can't say I got one tucked in, another on the way
If I feel tapped out, how do I give them anything
It's these little things, it's this rice and beans got me givin' thanks tonight

It's these livin' room, dancin' parties it's the John Deere lawn mower rides
It's been two years and I'm standin' here two feet on the ground
Daddy always comes back it's not time to punch my ticket out

That's the small price to pay to keep that monster at bay
Mister Hyde is not my friend he's always waitin' for me to fuck it up again
To that point of no return prayin' this time that I learn
To love this world I'm livin' in instead of longin' for oblivion

Oblivion
