lyrics

wrote a sentence in my dream
instead of listening to the pastor
i wrote a sentence in my dream

"i've decided once and for all,
i'm not going to kill myself
i am making myself a promise"

in my dream i made a promise
i wrote it down when i woke up
i wrote it in a diary entry
edited and revised extensively for posterity

never trust the first thought
only let the fourth one in
when it says that you're failing
never trust the fifth thought
only let the eighth one in
that says you've wasted everything

never trust the first thought
don't you know you're full of shit
why would you ever trust yourself
never trust the good thoughts
don't you know you have to hate yourself
before they get the chance

i saw her in a freak support group
learning not to call ourselves freaks
she seemed a master at existing
i wished i could just exist too

i didn't know anything about her
i wished that i could be more like her
maybe i just thought she was pretty
maybe i can't help but wonder
if loving myself would taste like sweat

never trust your girlfriend
don't you know she has to say that shit
to save you from yourself
nevermind the last one
don't you know that he was sick
but never stop blaming yourself

never trust your own thoughts
never trust anyone else's
don't you know it's all a trap
only trust the words from
politicians, authors, commentators
they know what's best for your health
