''I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one smiling face on Earth. (Abraham Lincoln, letter to John T. Stuart, January 1841)'' G Em C Everything makes me nervous and nothing feels good for no reason G Em C Waking up, it's rarely worth it - the same dark dread every morning G Em C Senior year here in Mahwah, a new world just around the corner G Em C Leave me behind, let me stagnate, in a fortress of solitude G Em C Smoking's been okay so far, but I need something that works faster G Em C D So all I want for Christmas is no feelings, no feelings now and never again G - Em - D - C G Em There is a faceplate all brown and red that stretches across my mouth D C G It's worn for protection, nobody gets in and nobody gets out. G Em I used to look myself in the mirror at the end of every day D C G But I took the one thing that made me beautiful and threw it away G Em I was a river, I was a tall tree, I was a volcano D C G But now I'm asleep on top of a mountain, I've been covered in snow G Em Yes, I have surrendered what made me human and all that I thought was true D C G So now there's a robot that lives in my brain and he tells me what to do G Em And I can do nothing without his permission or (which) wasn't part of the plan D C G So now in Rock Ridge pharmacy I will be waiting for my man G Em But there is another down in a dungeon who never gave up the fight D C G And he'll be forever screaming, sometimes I hear him say, on a quiet night, he says G Em C "You will always be a loser, you will always be a loser..." on and on and then .. G Em C D "You will always be a loser, you will always be a loser now...."
