Dead Instead

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jamie Madrox] I wanna be happy, like people in pictures I see on the doctor walls I wanna feel better all by myself without the help of drugs or alcohol I wanna be social, kind of friendly with great subjects to talk about But when I come in contact with others, I'd rather just go and shut my mouth [Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both] I built these walls (To keep this things in line) It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind) I built these walls (To help with my head) It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead [Verse 2: Monoxide] It's a struggle for me to try to exist inside a bubble I'll admit I often stumble, I'm no diff Feel the pressure losing grip Speak your mind or bite your lip Either stand or take a sit From the info that you get No one knows of it's legit I don't really care anymore I know it sounds selfish, but what am I helping it for No one really cares anymore I know it sounds helpless, know it sounds helpless [Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both] I built these walls (To keep this things in line) It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind) I built these walls (To help with my head) It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead [Bridge: Jamie Madrox] I wanna be happy, like people in pictures I see on the doctor walls I wanna feel better all by myself without the help of drugs or alcohol I wanna be social, kind of friendly with great subjects to talk about But when I come in contact with others, I'd rather just go and shut my mouth [Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both] I built these walls (To keep this things in line) It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind) I built these walls (To help with my head) It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead [Outro: Both & Jamie Madrox] Have me dead instead Have me dead instead It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead
