Feel, don't watch the mercury drop  Things fell apart and then I turned and stopped and said  I can't go on anymore like this    Save me from the tired hums  The crooked stares of the broken ones  One by one, let's watch them all disappear    I used to climb up to the attic at night  I'd end up in the basement screaming  I'm floating above all of you now    It feels like now they've got me by the throat    You make it sound so sincere  I never believe what I always hear  I never thought I'd see the day  They've got me by the throat  I'm force-fed all the answers  My paranoia spreads like cancer  I'm so far from all my problems now    So I packed what's left of me and I'm leaving  These city walls are closing in on me  Take me back before it all began  Before I'd run and before I cared  Sometimes my best just isn't enough    It feels like now they've got me by the throat    You make it sound so sincere  I never believe what I always hear  I never thought I'd see the day  They've got me by the throat  I'm force-fed all the answers  My paranoia just spreads like cancer  I'm so far from all my problems now    All of the things that I've left behind  Have washed out to sea and soon comes  The day that a hard rain falls on me
