[Optimist Prime]

Holed up in the dressing room
without a dress
kneeling at the confessional
with nothing to confess
and I knew all about my surprise party
I was spoiled and depressed
so I acted surprized and I told lots of lies
yes, I did my best

Stop the truck at the truck stop
I need something to help me crash
foodstamps, checks and credit cards
but they only accepted cash
sweat was pouring off my brow
my heart was beating out of my chest
so I stole everything they couldn't give away
and yes, I did my best

I did the best that could do
with all the mess that I been through
what did you expect me to do?
I did my best for you

I was waiting for a chain reaction
with a missing link
waiting for that trickle down
forever circling the sink
I was tired of feeling tired
I could not get no rest
so I kept sleep walking and talking in my sleep
yes I did my best

And I did the best that I could do
with all the mess that I've been through
what did you expect me to do?
I did my best for you.



Its for anyone who's ever asked me why I want[ed] to kill myself.
