[00:00.74]I'm friends with the monster
[00:02.93]That's under my bed
[00:05.08]Get along with the voices
[00:07.31]Inside of my head
[00:09.48]You're trying to save me
[00:11.56]Stop holding your breath
[00:13.79]And you think I'm crazy
[00:15.98]Yeah you think I'm crazy
[00:19.17]I wanted the fame but not the cover of newsweek
[00:21.06]Oh well guess beggars can't be choosy
[00:23.27]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:25.46]Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me
[00:27.66]Been wanting my cake and eat it too
[00:29.21]And wanting it both ways
[00:30.16]Fame made me a balloon
[00:31.26]'Cause my ego inflated
[00:32.27]When I blew see it was confusing
[00:34.16]'Cause all I wanted to do is be the bruce
[00:36.01]Lee of loose leaf
[00:36.94]Abused ink used it as a tool when I blew
[00:39.38]Steam woo
[00:39.97]Hit the lottery oh wee
[00:41.25]With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
[00:43.18]With this like winning a huge meet
[00:44.76]Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need
[00:46.59]A shrink
[00:47.24]I'm beginning to lose sleep
[00:48.46]One sheep two sheep
[00:49.54]Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
[00:51.24]But I'm actually weirder than you think
[00:53.06]'Cause I'm
[00:53.35]I'm friends with the monster
[00:55.21]That's under my bed
[00:57.42]Get along with the voices
[00:59.67]Inside of my head

[01:28.52]I ain't much of a poet
[01:29.59]But I know somebody
[01:30.28]Once told me
[01:30.83]To seize the moment and don't squander it
[01:32.69]'Cause you never know when it all
[01:33.96]Could be over tomorrow
[01:34.77]So I keep conjuring sometimes
[01:36.44]I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:38.09]Yeah ponder it do you want this
[01:39.74]No wonder you losing your mind the way it wanders
[01:43.29]I think you've been wandering off down yonder
[01:44.99]And stumbled onto jeff vanvonderen
[01:46.96]'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:48.67]To intervene between me and this monster
[01:50.60]And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:52.79]'Cause the very thing that I love is killing me
[01:54.61]And I can't conquer it
[01:55.71]My ocd is conking me in the head
[01:57.79]Keep knocking nobody's home I'm sleepwalking
