I Could Be President

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Was I born to sink into this couch And watch my whole life bleed its purpose out? Around me, insects follow patterns to their deaths While I waste my precious breath on another second guess [Chorus] I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in I feel so dead to the world Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in [Verse 2] These nightmares are so weird! It's like I'm drowning at the bottom of a bottle of beer That my father sips between the humorous quips Of the late night comedy news shows he frequents And I wake up with the devil in my sheets I took to her shoulders asking "was it good for me?" [Chorus] I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in I feel so dead to the world Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in [Bridge] If only I were present than I could be the president! If only I were present than I could be the president! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in I feel so dead to the world Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
