Rex: This song is cool if you like angst. I sure as hell can't relate to it anymore, I was pretty young when I wrote it (this was a Carpet Car song), but everyone else likes it so whatevs, it's fun to play. Maybe some 15 year old kid can relate to it or something.
lyrics
What's this madness?
I can't see
Why do you keep trying to decieve me?
In this windowless room the sun still gets in
I'm forcibly mounted on a trophy rack with other men
And you think you can get away with this?
Your teasing and that bullshit?
This is goddamned ridiculous
Get the fuck away
In my dreams your presence haunts me
The thought of you is overwhelming
I go into sensory overload
My heart's gone but my soul, for you, it's sold
In the end there's you without me
And you're just another post-adolescent fantasy
I won't win, won't even put up a fight
But I'll hang from my ceiling by the end of the night
