Alkaline Trio
(album: Good Mourning)

You´re on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
It´s far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it´s your only hope of pulling through.

And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can´t come true.
And they´ll pin it all on you
after all you´ve been put through.

"Sadie G. she´s crazy, see?"
That´s what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you´re losing
every opportunity to put us all away.

Now run along my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You´ve scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.

The sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie´s broken .22

"Sadie G. she´s crazy, see?"
That´s what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. you´re losing
every opportunity.

Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you´ve bound and gaged.
You´ve shot and stab.
You tried to set them free, but they´ve thrown away the keys.
