Circle the Drain Lyrics


Nothing can save me now
I've set a course of action and I refuse to back out
Trying to prove, I can take this abuse
Hasn't proven anything
Retreat to my dreams but the figures remain
Asleep in a waking fantasy
Feeling so thin
Circling the drain, I can't win
All it adds up to is misery
Running in circles trying to keep it straight
Not just my thoughts but my letter grade
At night I close my eyes, but even there I'm pursued
Break away? Naw, you're f***** dude
Did you remember those terms? Ribonucleic-what?
I hate the pain but I cant get enough
Pushed to the edge and I'll ultimately jump
But the journey through the thorns is half of the fun
Destroying my mind, sleepless nights
So much reading I wish I were blind
Passion propels and fear only serves to sink
If skin and bones are really all that's left
Bury me with my board and my denim vest
If I die knowing nothing, then I lived nothing too
Library coffee blues
WAKE UP!
Class is in session, check those microbial Hessians
Hungover and I'm already late
I've found a new place, where my mind can be free
Up on the hill in the library
No time to eat, barely time to sleep
Haven't see my home in almost three weeks
Giving up is no option, but if I ultimately break
It's just another victim of that GPA
Stay in one piece, tofu fueled machine
Make it through, and skate trips are all I see
Mountains and shows, hangin' with the bros
Samurai films, talking Emerson and Thoreau
Skateboards, beerbongs, endless nights, skatin' on, Captain Party and the dudes
GRE, ATP, NAG, BSA, library homesick blues
Circle the drain GPA and my brain
But if I die knowing nothing, then I lived nothing too.
