Hey Matt I got something I wanna tell you If you're there pick up It's no big deal I'm just so lonely You see I had a dream last night my entire life washed up There was a terrible flood, the Ventura Freeway was covered in my stuff Hey Matt The water carried all my secrets Sifting through the muck I saw my dirty little grievances And the memories I killed All the shameful feelings spilled Lay bare on the asphalt Broken parts I thought I'd drowned real good One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain Is the last bit of innocence I hope I can save it I hope I can save it One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Hey Matt SongtexteYou know the monsters in the ocean? It turns out they're real Guess they were underneath the surface Tailing me like a shark getting dizzy and drunk on my blood And all this time they were deep beneath the wave that used to carry me on high Hey Matt I'm stranded on a traffic island Six car pile up and flashing lights so many sirens I don't recognize my skin or the bones that creak within I am tired all the time A sexless, frail, scared and weak little man One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain Is the last bit of innocence I hope I can save it I hope I can save it One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Hey Matt I'm somewhere on the 101 South I guess I broke down There's bits of plastic and glass all around And it cuts into my feet And this mud is sickeningly sweet But what the flood dredged up doesn't seem so bad under tungsten lights Hey Matt I think I'm gonna cut my losses Cause when I look at this stuff there's nothing left I wanna process There's some hurt and revenge I could take And my Daddy issues still ache But they're just so heavy I think I'll leave them here for someone else to claim To claim To claim One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Poison seeping into my brain until the only thing to remain Is the last bit of innocence I hope I can save it I hope I can save it One time as a way to survive I decided to be king But the crown dug into my skin and that gold turned out to be tin Hey Matthew I think I should tell you I spend my life hiding behind a tree complaining Nobody wants to play with me A selfish kind of irony I'm so fucking lonely But I won't let you in If you're out there rescue me If you're out there come and see me It's not how it's meant to be If you're out there come and rescue me It's the ending of all of me If you're out there come and rescue me If you're out there come and see me This is not how it's supposed to be Aus Songtexte Mania
