Landlocked State

There's a voice from clear across the plains
 With an accent that you can't mistake
 But this song, it don't take place in Texas
 It's in a landlocked type of state
 And the statics humming me to sleep
 On the floor, the only way to beat the heat
 This is why I don't write you letters
 They never mention these things
 You can take another hit but (you can try and top it)
 Try and hold your breath (it's just another hit in)
 Vain, I've got a grasp on my own isolation
 An abridged adaptation of it
 The insanity we can't escape
 Losing brain cells and the Teflon flakes
 I got my own way of fighting cancer
 And you ain't one of them
 Stealing groceries just to stay awake
 Sleepwalk through the aisles to numb the ache
 Can you hide it inside your jacket
 And make a quick escape?
 You can lie about the price of (keeping it inside it's)
 Not the greatest gig but (can't you see I'm trying)
 Not to bum you out, I feel so sick inside
 I'm just trying to hide out lately
 Blurry visions from the karaoke prompter
 Nodding off to not so distant laughter
 They're gonna watch you die from starvation
 And your scars will all have names
