[Verse]
We're Emtelevisions whose Cmouths and Gwords
EmDon't line up Clike they sGhould
EmYou're hard concrete, Cwhile I'm sGtuck on
The blood Emstaining it and whCere it came Gfrom
[Pre-Chorus]
EmCoffee cups Ccollect at the side of my Gbed
Red pins pushed tDhrough the places I've Embeen
I tie them Ctogether with a Gstring
The pattern just Dtells me, "Go to Emsleep"C  G  
I should go to Dsleep
[Chorus]
I'm Dgetting used to my sEmkin but it doCesn't fit rDight
I share my name with a Emstranger aCll my lDife
And I Emfeel it Call, AmCarolina in my bloodC  
Run, brother, run

I was Emtwenty-five when mCy dad Gdied
My Emarm's fell weak, my Cheart grew Gtired
And Emevery girl I Ctried to Gkiss
Gives that Emlook you did so I Cjust Gchose to miss
[Pre-Chorus]
EmFind the greatest Cbooks flip to the Gend
In those last Dlines you'll find my Emfriends
Like flies on Ctape, I keep them Gclose
We may look dead but move our Dtoes
[Chorus]
I'm Dgetting used to my sEmkin but it doCesn't fit rDight
I share my name with a Emstranger aCll my lDife
And I Emfeel it Call, AmCarolina in my bloodC  
Run, father, GruDnEm
