On a morning in Baton Rouge

I change position to some heartbreaking news

I remember the sobs in the car about you

And I'm deep too

To what rests on Connecticut steps

Total shock and an assortment of friends

And thoughts to go along with the rest in my head

It's what this was

It's what you want

To everyone you know



Today I'm so unbelievably helpless

Against the pit in my stomach I couldn't begin to shake off

So in the back of my mind

My brain has rendered me silent

Which not a soul around me could understand



I slept in the sun all the way to Jackson

You'd agree this is the worst Goddamn place on earth

Resolve to calm and concealed reaction

That I'm so hurt

That we're so hurt

Of this clever disguise I've made so sure



Tonight I'm so unbelievably helpless

Against the pit in my stomach I couldn't begin to shake off

So in the back of my mind

My brain has rendered me silent

Which not a soul around me could ever understand

Not a soul around me could ever understand
