I Could Be President lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was I born to sink into this couch
And watch my whole life bleed its purpose out?
Around me, insects follow patterns to their deaths
While I waste my precious breath on another second guess

[Chorus]
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in

[Verse 2]
These nightmares are so weird!
It's like I'm drowning at the bottom of a bottle of beer
That my father sips between the humorous quips
Of the late night comedy news shows he frequents
And I wake up with the devil in my sheets
I took to her shoulders asking "was it good for me?"

[Chorus]
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
[Bridge]
If only I were present than
I could be the president!
If only I were present than
I could be the president!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of sleeping in
I feel so dead to the world
Just tell me where do I begin? 'Cause
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of breathing in
