so god, this is where you change the names   to protect the innocent   i left 'em all the same   'cause nobody changes   leave 'em all the same   but omit the addresses      i'm out numbered in the hall   of some shit hotel   where something someone wrote is going on   and nothing is real   and nothing's going down      for everything i do so well   how come i feel like such a failure?   when actors on actors are acting out   i'll only write this song      i like to ring these numbers   when i know nobody's home   and i listen and i listen to 'em   god, the voices sound like screams to me   done until they're tired on cue (?)      and i'm out numbered in the hall   of this shit hotel   where something someone wrote is going on   nothing is real   and nothing's going down   nobody's real here   and nothing's going down   oooh      i'm out numbered in the hall   of some shit hotel   where something someone wrote is going on   and nothing is real and nothing's going down   for everything i do so well   how come i feel like such a failure   when actors on actors are acting out   i'll only write the song   when actors on actors are acting out   i only write the song
