i'm staring headlong
into the jaws of death
big teeth, big mouth,
bad bad breath
and i promised myself
i'd never do this again
and i don't understand it

help me, i'm going down again
help me, i can't tell
none of my friends
1 2 3, struck out again
pull a sheet over me,
but don't cover my head

i wanted bliss, ended up like this
betrayed myself with
my own judas kiss
momma never told me
there would be days like this, no!

you get what you pay for, i guess
can i pay for this?
i been eaten up and swallowed
by what i wanted
and i wanted more, more than this
tell me, what's worth more
what you'll lie for or
what you'll die for
i follow my heart
and it lies and it lies
and i don't understand it

help me, i'm going down again
help me, when will this ever end?
1 2 3, if i strike out again, do i lose?
am i dead? dead
am i dead? dead
am i dead? dead
am i dead? dead
