Song Lyrics

It's out to get me
And It's all in my head
It wants to take me
Time to put me to bed
Can someone wake me?
Against my own will
And get me out of here
I'm sick of walking on pills
I've got a weakness
So tell me where is the bliss?
Can someone shake me?
And get me out of this fix
All the white walls
Are closing in tight
I need to know
If I can get through the night

It won't let me
Everybody's out to get me

Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Ohh that head screams all a dream
Ohh will it ever let go?
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's a breakdown

All the vampires
Are out on the look
Oh do they see me?
How long will it take to chase the monsters?
There still in my head
That's all I see
And it needs to be fed
I have them with me
[Background Vocals]It won't let me Everybody is out to get me
To what has been done
They're ahead of me
And I think it has won

Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Ohh that the head screams all a dream
Ohh will it ever let go?
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's a breakdown

Ohh Breakin down
Breakin down
Oh done it today breakdown
Oh get out of the way so afraid
Oh stand again sit down
Oh done it again breakdown
Oh done it today breakdown
Oh out of the way so afraid
It won't let me
Everybody's out to get me

[Chourus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Ohh that the head screams all a dream
Ohh will it ever let go?
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's the breakdown
Ohh no no it's a breakdown
