Stir Crazy Video (MV)

All work and no play makes me a dull boy
It takes away my happiness and all of my joy
I'm always in the booze, trying hard to cope
But no matter what I do I always lose hope
At least that's how it seems with the voices in my head
Turning to the whiskey every night before bed
This is nothing new, though it's how I've always been
I'm not gonna hurt ya, I'll just bash your brains in
Man, that was weird, I didn't mean that
Honey, just relax, I only want the baseball bat
I need to take a breath, I'm ahead of myself
Get me your best whiskey from the top of the shelf
Let's back it all up to the very start
Just a little bit before I've started my depart
Before my mental state started declining
It's the story of how I died to my shining

I kinda got this feeling
I don't know how to explain what I'm thinking, but it's kind of insane
Everything was cool once I hopped up off the plane
But a couple months later and I don't feel the same
Let me take it back where everything is on track
I'm with my kid and girl and she's looking like a snack
Five months sober since the first of the attack
And I'm feeling kinda better and my mind isn't whack
Sitting at the bar, but I thought I was alone
Lloyd is pouring shots and I'm feeling like I'm home
Let me get a double, man, I'm falling off the wagon
If I'm gonna do it, then I shouldn't be dragging
My feet on the floor, come on, pour a couple more
I won't tell if you don't tell that crazy whore
Fill up my cup with nothing but Jim Beam
Now I'm feeling something if you know what I mean

The voices are too loud, except for when I drink
They make it way too hard to type, they make it hard to think
But when I fill my cup up with a little Jack
All of the voices seem to get pushed back
It's what I always need to make myself feel sane
Otherwise you'll be wrapped in lots of cellophane
That's only if you're lucky and not unfortunate
The unlucky ones get chopped up into bits
Like the dream I had of my wife and of my kid
There's something really wrong with me, I must be losing it
I'm really at a loss, I hate myself for this
I used to love my family, but now I'm always pissed
Everything is wrong, all across the board
Self-pity is a luxury I can't afford
What else can I do?
I think I'll drink more Jack
I guess it's time for the story to get back on track

Check it out now, I just wanna be alone
I'm trying to write music in the place I call home
So when you hear me typing, you better just keep
On moving on or go back to sleep
Don't piss me off, I don't wanna pop off
But I'm back at the bar and the bottle cap is off
Call it what you want, but I don't see a problem
I'm a grown man, if I wanna get down some
Then I'm gonna drink just to ease the pain
The only thing helping me, I'm seeing some things
Wait just a minute, is it inside my brain
I thought you were dead, would you please say your name
That's kinda crazy, cause I thought I was told
The guy in your spot would be way too old
For you to be him, but I heard that he did
The wildest thing and he died for his sin

A lot of folks, they got a little bit of shine to them
They don't even know it
But they always seem to show up with flowers
When their wives are feeling blue with the monthlies
They do good on school tests they don't even study for
They got a good idea of how people are feeling
As soon as they walk into a room

Okay yeah, now it's time to go down
I'm hearing the voices and they're soothing and they're sound
Take them both out, it's the right thing to do
You better do it now before they do it to you
I grab the battle axe and I'm running up the stairs
She swings a bat, but I'm not breaking stare
Looking at her soul through the depths of her eyes
This the right choice, I've finally realized
They were out to get me the whole entire time
Since we first stepped foot and crossed over lines
State after state, this was always their plan
Get me all alone and then murder by her hand
Now that it's done, I can finally have peace
I'm not at war and I don't have to reach
The writing on the paper, no one's here to fight with me
It's all written up and I need some more whiskey
