[Section 1: Anesthetize] [Verse 1] A good impression of myself Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying nothing with feel [Chorus] I simply am not here No way I- Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please [Verse 2] And because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse of "there must be more" So don't breathe here Don't leave your bags [Chorus] I simply am not here No way I- Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please [Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo: 02:55-04:56] [Section 2: The Pills I'm Taking] [Instrumental Break: 04:56-07:14] [Verse 3] The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs My head in the clouds and I'm zoning out I'm watching TV, but I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored, but I can't switch off [Chorus] Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV, cod philosophy [Verse 4] We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies Well, what is the point? What can money buy? My hand's on a gun and I find the range God tempts me Well, what did you say? Think I'm passing out [Chorus] Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV, cod philosophy [Instrumental Break: 09:17-11:24] [Chorus] Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV, cod philosophy [Section 3: Surfer] [Instrumental Break: 12:10-13:30] [Chorus] The water so warm that day (Water so) The water so warm that day (Warm that day) I counted out the waves (I counted) I counted out the waves (Out the waves) As they broke into surf (As they broke) As they broke (Into surf) I smiled into the Sun [Verse 5] The water, so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed their short life As they broke on the shoreline I could see you But I couldn't hear you [Verse 6] You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment You were stolen And there's black across the Sun [Chorus] The water so warm that day (Water so) The water so warm that day (Warm that day) I counted out the waves (I counted) I counted out the waves (Out the waves) As they broke into surf (As they broke) As they broke (Into surf) I smiled into the Sun [Instrumental Outro]
