Packrat Pretends Lyrics

Like a dress that doesn't fit

Everybody wants to see you wear it

Just smile for the camera

When I was young I wanted love

So naive to what it is made of

Just a castle in the air

No slippers made of glass

No midnight coming fast

Just a pumpkin and a rat

I need something for the shakes

I sleep while I'm awake

And I dream that I'm alive

Don't pry too far inside my mind

I'm afraid of what you might find

Just a pair of cloud covered crows

So I'd like another fill

Of those over the counter confidence pills

And I'll see you in one week

28 and losing time

Still trying to find that peace of mind

In a house of everlasting past

But you can only push and pull so much

Before a touch is a touch too much

And the blinds are too bright for you

I want a place that I can call mine

I want a home removed from time

So I can let myself go

When everybody wants to be like you

It's hard enough just to be like me

Somebody said something 'bout the devil

I'm saying something 'bout a human being

I wish that I could run away

I wish that I could run away

I'm gonna smoke this cigarette

I'm gonna drink until I forget

Then I'm gonna walk right out the door

From where I was in Kansas City

To where I am in Tennessee

To where I've never been before
