Freeze Your Brain
I’ve been through ten high schools
They start to get blurry
No point planting roots
Cause you’re gone in a hurry
My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den
So it’s only a matter of when
I don’t learn the names
Don’t bother with faces
All I can trust is this concrete oasis
Seems every time I’m about to despair
There’s a 7-Eleven right there
Each store is the same
From Las Vegas to Boston
Linoleum aisles that I love
To get lost in
I pray at my altar of slush
Yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush
Freeze your brain
Suck on that straw
Get lost in the pain
Happiness comes
When everything numbs
Who needs cocaine?
Freeze your brain
Freeze your brain
Care for a hit?
[VERONICA:]
Does your mommy know you eat all that crap?
[J.D.:]
Not anymore
When mom was alive
We lived halfway normal
But now it’s just me and my dad
We’re less formal
I learned to cook pasta
I learned to pay rent
Learned the world doesn’t
Owe you a cent
You’re planning your future
Veronica Sawyer
You’ll go to some college
And marry a lawyer
But the sky’s gonna hurt
When it falls
So you’d better start
Building some walls
Freeze your brain
Swim in the ice
Get lost in the pain
Shut your eyes tight, till you vanish
From sight
Let nothing remain
Freeze your brain
Shatter your skull
Fight pain with more pain
Forget who you are
Unburden your load
Forget in six weeks you’ll be back on
The road
When the voice in your head
Says you’re better off dead
Don’t open a vein
Just freeze your brain
Freeze your brain
Go on and freeze your brain
Try it
