Madison Cunningham Hospital
[Verse 1]
Well, you'll never see me dying
On screen or microscope
I'll be the first to laugh it off
To not be the brunt of your joke
[Verse 2]
Let me make a mistake
It'll pay for its own cost
'Cause regret is like an infant
That won't let you sleep it off
[Chorus]
Checking in to a hospital
Where the nurse is earth and sky
Fighting against my flesh and blood
There's nothing I won't try
Even heartache looks so easy
To a pair of grieving eyes
I am always one man down
I am always one man down
And dressed up
[Verse 3]
I am an antenna
A feeding tube and a hard drive
Entertaining myself to death
To maintain some sort of life
[Verse 4]
Staring up at a concrete roof thinking
It could fall any minute
The fault line can't be reasoned with
No matter what the house has in it
[Chorus]
Checking in to a hospital
Where the nurse is church and state
The cure has got that oxygen
We're all looking to taste
With the face lines of a moth's wings
I want more time to waste
I am always one man down
I am always one man down
And dressed up
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
If my mind's an orphanage
You're not in the market to mind
Living like this is
Just no way to die
[Verse 6]
Put it in terms I can understand
This wound is all I've got
But I can't disconnect my hand
From the damage that it's brought
[Outro]
Well, the straight face on this cruel place
It just won't crack or break
And I am always one man down
I am always one man down
And fed up
