Zipper Ride

I believed I was just in a nightmare
And in fact
I wasn't wrong
I was living one
Those hours seemed much too long

My sight was being blinded by
The lights of the ambulance
(The ambulance)
I was trapped in my ambivalence
(I wanted to die, but I changed my mind)

Outta tune on a gurney
Thought that was the end of my earthly journey
I was brought up to believe
That I was never truly worthy
(Worthy, oh)
Maybe I'm being too naive
To think that now things will take a turn for the better
(After I wrote my farewell letter)

I hope I can be a flower
That sprouts in the litter
To savor it like candy
Even though it's bitter
(Even though it's bitter)
Make my aching soul fitter
(Oh, my aching soul)
To handle this clutter
It's been a long time
My life is a full-on zipper ride
(Zipper Ride, Zipper Ride)
It's been upside down for quite some time

In this moment of lightheadedness
Remember the days of messes in class
(Maybe they saw me as a clown
'Cause at school they laughed at me
I've always been a loner
Maybe they didn't talk to me
Cause were afraid to get closer)

(Outta tune on a gurney
Thought that was the end of my earthly journey
I was brought up to believe
That I was never truly worthy)
Or maybe I'm being too naive
To think that now things will take a turn for the better
After I wrote my farewell letter
(I wrote a farewell letter)

I hope I can be a flower
That sprouts in the litter
To savor it like candy
Even though it's bitter
(Even though it's bitter)
Make my aching soul fitter
(Oh, my aching soul)
To handle this clutter
It's been a long time
My life is a full-on zipper ride
(Zipper Ride, Zipper Ride)
