Take the Edge Off
[Verse 1]
A wooden shed with a sense of purpose tonight
Every scale, every word, every lick
Ten fingers to get all the bodies to sway without looking like a dick
In the mirror, noticing my hair
Make adjustments to anything I possibly can
Empty feeling, guess it's always there
The little voice that's yelling through the holes in my plan
Oh, how to make the fear subside
I can borrow from the next sunrise

[Chorus]
(I don't dance)
I just watch
(Drugs, drugs)
'Til the alcohol takes the edge off (Drugs, drugs)

[Verse 2]
A brick wall flower child is what I've become
Aging out as the crowd gets younger still
Revolution, recycled and I don't really
Change yourself, you won't yet but later you will
I got ways to make it new again
Dumb it down, boy, that's the trend, alright
[Chorus]
(I don't dance)
I just watch
(Drugs, drugs)
'Til the alcohol takes the edge off (Drugs, drugs)
I don't dance, I just watch (Drugs, drugs)
'Til the alcohol takes the edge off

[Verse 3]
The subtle angst, I'm deeper in its loathing and fear
Dystopia's the name of this club
I'm the only one to remember when the future was clear
Now here's a scourge that's eating us up

[Chorus]
(I don't dance)
I just watch
(Drugs, drugs)
'Til the alcohol takes the edge off (Drugs, drugs)
I don't dance, I just watch (Drugs, drugs)
'Til the alcohol takes the edge off

[Outro]
