It's all broken down, and though I want to build it up I don't know how
Everywhere I turn I see the shadows of the monuments you burned
It's a tragic joke, but every time I try to laugh I only choke
I just want to be loved
And not just treated like a burden or a thing that only hurts
Oh no
Tell me, if it's all in my mind, why am I hungry and so cold?
I need some time with bread and blankets for my soul
To warm back up like '99 with Nat King Cole
On the radio
I just want to get high and feel a sliver of the joy from years gone by
Numb with pounding heart, might not be love or happiness but it's a start
I want to love you all, but then the thought of people drives me up the wall
I want to have control
But then the powers that may be, they come and take it all from me
Oh no
Tell me, if it's all in my mind, why am I hungry and so cold?
I need some time with bread and blankets for my soul
To warm back up like '99 with Nat King Cole
On the radio
I'll shiver in the park, wrapped in newspaper as the nights grow cold and dark
I used to have it all, but then they kicked me on my ass and watched me fall
I watch my brothers grow, but that's not in my cards or so my record shows
They say that I'm disturbed
But I'm still human, or I thought, and this is not what I deserve
Oh no
Tell me, if it's all in my mind, why am I hungry and so cold?
I need some time with bread and blankets for my soul
To warm back up like '99 with Nat King Cole
On the radio
Tell me, if it's all in my mind, why am I hungry and so cold?
I need some time with bread and blankets for my soul
To warm back up like '99 with Nat King Cole
On the radio
