It's been a while since I've last wanted something else than a box of cigarettes My ashtray is full and my mind's gone null and the dreams I've carried around have turned into a pocketful of burdens Just dragging me down Just dragging me down First, the head goes Then, the head goes When did it get so hard to get myself to eat Stressed out Friends flying Stressed out Cut me loose Picked up my guitar But nothing happened so I go back to bed trying to get some rest Then the caffeine kicks in My mind's so sharp but my head's so numb No wonder I'm falling to pieces Depression increases Take a look at the bright side to some of my addictions I got no more blues Just left with a bruise First, the head goes Then, the head goes When did it get so hard to get myself to eat Stressed out Friends flying Stressed out Cut me loose Will you please stop saying I'm rude, for not showing my nude Drifting around the lagoon, like a baloon set loose Stressed out Friends flying Stressed out Cut me loose
