Ready, Fire, Aim

1998, I'm passed out again
And I'm fetal on the floorboards
With a faded Jeff Wayne record for a bed
But I'm too scared to go home instead
To the me I never fell for

I stay deaf so I can't find the trigger
Let's pretend I like where we are
No breath but the flames are quicker

Counting the days until I break back down
I disappear 'cause I am no one now
Take my, take my reflection
Bury myself with self-deception

Life is warmer on the back seat here
With my headphones searing out
My Therapy? cassette keeps spinning 'round
And I sleep well at this time of year
With my faded dreams of self-doubt

It's a new me but the smoke clears quick
Let's pretend we think I'll make it
I tune up but the smile won't stick

Counting the days until I break back down
I disappear 'cause I am no one now
Take my, take my reflection
Fill your lungs with self-deception
Burn my, burn my reflection
Bury yourself and learn your lesson

Beating my heart until I hit the ground
This music's nothing that you'd like
The melody stopped turning 'round at night
And I'm counting the days until I break back down
I disappear 'cause I am no one now
Take my, take my reflection
Fill your lungs with self-deception
Burn my, burn my reflection
Bury yourself and learn your lesson
