Captive Audience

They sentenced me, but I need a hook
'Cause I can't hear over the lives I took
Each morning I punch the mirror red
Out of sight, out of mind

And I can't decide if I'm the reason why
That everyone is quiet each dinner time
Despite how I try, I can't

Hide my blame with the economy
I know you wanna blame it on the weed
I'm wishing every day back to me, yes
It's been some time since I've seen my smile

'Cause I think I know why you're quiet all the time
Forced to watch me reassign your pride
Despite how I try, I can't hide

He follows me
Just like the smell of weed
These dirty hands I was dealt
Are fuckin' cuffed to myself

'Cause he follows me
He threw away the key
No matter where I go
No matter what I smoke
He'll make me watch me
Crash

Broken phone
Broken head
I'm out of reasons to
Let you leave me in bed
My friends
Captive audience
To whatever the hell
I'm pretending this is

Every night I amplify
Everything that's left of me
For my very own captive audience to see
But every time I try
To feel a little alive
It makes me wanna die and makes my mom cry

They sentenced me when I needed a hook
Now I can't focus enough to finish a book
But I'm getting pretty good at burning paper
And getting pretty tired of selling my labor

As long as there are those
Destined to living alone
I'm convinced I can leave my captive audience at home
'Till it turns out that
I'm the one serving the sentence
The walls are in your head and you're the one serving the sentence

He follows me
Just like the smell of weed
These dirty hands I was dealt
Are fuckin' cuffed to myself

'Cause he follows me
He threw away the key
No matter where I go
No matter what I smoke
