freeze your brain

i've been through ten high schools

they start to get blurry

no point planting roots

cause you're gone in a hurry

my dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den

so it's only a matter of when

i don't learn the names

don't bother with faces

all i can trust is this concrete oasis

seems ev'ry time i'm about to despair

there's a 7-eleven right there

each store is the same

from las vegas to boston

linoleum aisles that i love

to get lost in

i pray at my altar of slush

yeah i live for that sweet frozen rush

freeze your brain

suck on that straw

get lost in the pain

happiness comes

when everything numbs

who needs cocaine?

freeze your brain

freeze your brain

care for a hit?

does your mommy know you eat all that crap?

not anymore

when mom was alive

we lived halfway normal

but now it's just me and my dad

we're less formal

i learned to cook pasta

i learned to pay rent

learned the world doesn't

owe you a cent

you're planning your future

veronica sawyer

you'll go to some college

and marry a lawyer

but the sky's gonna hurt

when it falls

so you better start

building some walls

freeze your brain

swim in the ice

get lost in the pain

shut your eyes tight

till you vanish

from sight

let nothing remain

freeze your brain

shatter your skull

fight pain with more pain

forget who you are

unburden your load

forget in six weeks you'll be back on

the road

when the voice in your head

says you're better off dead

don't open a vein

just freeze your brain

freeze your brain

go on and freeze your brain

try it
