Trouble

Standing at the gates of hell
Circling the drain
Lately I just hate myself
But damn I love the pain
Everything is buried now
And I don’t know where to go
And when the static fades to black, yeah
I’ll be singing all alone
Is it living or dying that makes me afraid?
Or is it that I know my soul can’t be saved?
There’s trouble in my daydreams
It’s all I’ve ever known
The day that I was born, trouble won’t leave me alone
It’s flowing in my bloodstream
And running through my veins
And when I lose my mind, it’s the trouble that remains
Baby, I’m a powder keg, waiting to explode
Messy, I’m a lunatic, passed out in the road
Yeah, I’m a ten cent man in a hundred dollar suit
Baby you should look the other way
Forget my name, 'cause I’m no good for you
Is it living or dying that makes me afraid?
Or is it that I know my soul can’t be saved?
There’s trouble in my daydreams
It’s all I’ve ever known
The day that I was born, trouble won’t leave me alone
It’s flowing in my bloodstream
And running through my veins
And when I lose my mind, it’s the trouble that remains
There’s no silver or gold in my kingdom, I’ve done it
All of that treasure and suffering and hurt
Shit went down my heart, blood is still spilling
I can’t be your hero, so I’ll play the villain (rah!)
There’s trouble in my daydreams
It’s all I’ve ever known
The day that I was born, trouble won’t leave me alone
It’s flowing in my bloodstream
And running through my veins
And when I lose my mind, it’s the trouble that remains
