A Bureaucracy To Call My Own
Selfish ambitions
And one-sided questions
That puts you on the edge
Then drives you over it
An overachiever
Self-righteous browbeater
I've become my focus
And you've lost your patience
When did these voices make my head their home
Pointing their fingers and casting their stones?
In a bureaucracy to call my own
You were the victim
Of my emotional venom
But you always said you forgave me
For a life not worth living
My head is tied up with mental red tape
And the drugs no longer help me escape
But you can't go on
(But you can't go on)
And you can't go on living this way
You've left me here on a throne
To live my remaining days all alone
In a bureaucracy to call my own
And one-sided questions
That puts you on the edge
Then drives you over it
An overachiever
Self-righteous browbeater
I've become my focus
And you've lost your patience
When did these voices make my head their home
Pointing their fingers and casting their stones?
In a bureaucracy to call my own
You were the victim
Of my emotional venom
But you always said you forgave me
For a life not worth living
My head is tied up with mental red tape
And the drugs no longer help me escape
But you can't go on
(But you can't go on)
And you can't go on living this way
You've left me here on a throne
To live my remaining days all alone
In a bureaucracy to call my own
