Xerxes

i'm swimming in a wasteland
but today's my day no matter what
cause everybody feels that i'm undone
when i'm left loaded with my dose
and i'm going to the friday pot roast
yeah

when i take a little pill
i just feel like i'm built to spill
i do wonder if anything helps
and i do wonder if anything helps

i'm standing at the drawbridge
i either cross over or i wait
yeah

but when the tide begins to rise
and i slip on the gopher's back
when i'm moving to the end
oh no let me be i made this decision myself
and i do wonder if anything helps
i do wonder if anything helps

wouldn't it be nice to be on a wavelength
but i feel there's nothing left to save
yeah
either retreat or give it all up to the sins
flutter as a soul moving from tree to tree
if only this could be me
yeah

away from the drug conspiracy
where we can not hold our thoughts
for the better they fuck our heads
tear our ideas down to shreds
and i do wonder if anything helps
i do wonder if anything helps

xerxes come please hold on to me
xerxes stay with me and set me free
let us go far from those who try
to mold you how they like you
creates something that is untrue
yeah

and when the death rate begins to drop
little green pills start to stop
and all the people begin to fall
energy slows down to a crawl
and no one's caring for you at all
and everyone's waiting for their call

and when the death rate begins to drop
little green pills start to stop
oh they stop

and if that name's running through my head
and that feeling's running down my blood
i do feel that i'm a man of death
now that she's come into the play
and i do wonder if anything helps
i do wonder if anything helps
and i do wonder if anything helps
i do wonder if anything
