Lyrics for This Is Where It Ends

I don't buy everything I read I haven't even read everything I've bought I don't cry every time I bleed My eyes are dry but they're bloodshot I have faith in medication I believe in the Prozac nation You play doctor, but I've lost patience. This is where it ends This is where it ends Call the police and call the press But please, dear God, don't tell my friends This is where it ends This is where it ends Where's my pride, where's my self esteem? Does it show in the drinks I've bought? I don't hide every time I'm seen But I try not to get caught Make excuses for behavior Can my illness be my savior Hid my heart while you still gave yours This is where it ends This is where it ends Call the police and call the press But please, dear God, don't tell my friends This is where it ends This is where it ends She says she wants to live in a movie I say, "I want someone else To stand behind me and write it all down Cuz I can't be bothered doin' it myself And I don't want the responsibility of proving its importance" I have loved and I have waited Been picked up and been sedated Mental health is overrated This is where it ends This is where it ends Call the police and call the press But please, dear God, don't tell my friends This is where it ends This is where it ends
