Monsters

i was hanging upside down from the overpass
waiting to discover something about the world
i couldn’t get with the program and i couldn’t listen to them
it was like trying to think in reverse
and i don’t want to slide into apathy
and i don’t want to die in captivity
but these monsters follow me around
hunting me down, trying to wipe me out
wipe me out
i was hiding away under water
waiting for distance and buying some time
trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
so i could excuse myself from humankind
'cause i don’t want to be a container
or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
but these monsters spin me around
get me down, just try and shut me out
shut me out
hold it in your head
believe and make believe and make believe
i was hiding away under water
waiting for distance, waiting for time
and i don’t want to slide into apathy and i don’t
and i don’t want to live in captivity
