lyrics

Doctor, have we got a pulse?

Why, yes sir, I can feel it through the warmth,
In my fingertips and I can feel it through the cold,
Of the metal punctured through my skin,
I think I'll manage this in my current condition,
Don't need bandages or further provisions,
The further I get away the less I am looking grim,

I know that I'm a little unconvincing as of right now,
This place has been devoid of life for weeks,
But a few days away and I'm starting to leak,
Out my eyes and my ears and my interior,
I get sick to my stomach,
Everybody wants a piece of me,

[Chorus]
Life is short, so get off your ass,
There's only so much idle time to pass,
One day you will die, you might fly off the highway,
Or your insides burst out before your outsides turn grey,
In the meantime, cause that's all that life is,
Tell me what would it take to bring you joy,
You know I'd only offer everything,

Why, yes sir, I'm a young man and I own nothing,
What do you think of this as an old man with wisdom?
Oh tell me, tell me, about the places you've been,
When you built yourself from the ground up wih nothing,
Did you dream of this- with the sky as the limit?
Oh who gives a damn about the things you've made?

I know that I'm a little unconvincing as of right now,
This place has devoid of life for weeks,
But a few days away and I'm starting to speak,
From the few years I've had and today looking back,
I get sick to my stomach,
Everybody wants a piece of me,

[Chorus]

Doctor, have we got a pulse?

Hey, Doc, I've got an itch to get out of this bed,
Breaks my back and I've got no knack for rest,
Or getting hooked on monitors or waited on by a nurse,
Refusing painkillers I'd rather just deal with it's,
Intravenous, in my blood, the need to move and rise above,
I'm getting claustrophobic staying stuck in here,

[Chorus]
