Overachiever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thoughts in my head Drift around like lead Won't go away Go away or I'll be forced to retire They'll put my number in the rafters [Verse 2] Why does it rhyme? Does it always have to fit in a box? I think outside a lot A hole in my head And I don't know where my sledgehammer went [Verse 3] Make it go away, go away But not too far away Living like a dad It's no big deal that he's never here And he's never coming back [Chorus 1] There's a key, there's a key I can't find it, but it sounds good to me Open sesame I look like a dog But I'm all cat inside I dress like a slob There's no more feeling in my toe, that's a lie I can't tell you why I see all the ghosts Not in my closet anymore [Bridge] They're in my room, they're in my room They're in my bathroom They're steaming up the mirror They want us outta here It's just like you said There's a ghost in my head You live and then you're dead [Chorus 2] Ask my mom and believe her When she says I was an overachiever A cool demeanor In its place, there's a fever There's a boy, he's alive (He's alive) He's a little eager beaver Ask my mom and believe her When she says I was an overachiever Why did he leave her? In his place, there's a fever There's a boy, he's alive (He's alive) He's alive, he's a leader
