Capo on 2nd fret. Em, G, Dm, C
I woke up, to another Wednesday
Just an ordinary day, maybe Tuesday or Thursday
Or when-it-all-ends-day
Or Who-cares-day
I smoked my cigarette only halfway
Then left it burning away in the ashtray
I’d inhale and exhale, my train of thought would derail
And I was led astray.
The bitter taste lingers in my mouth,
I’m no longer hoping for a way out
I’m on a highway, found my way, way up high
Leave a message after beep, or I’ll greet you with goodbye
Because my sanity has gone fishing
My humanity has gone fishing
There’s no empathy or sympathy
I’m left with this epiphany that now
I’ m gone
My sanity has gone fishing
My humanity has gone fishing
I need a source of energy
I’m running low on battery
I’m gone
I’ve gone fishing
I’ve given up on counting sheep and I have
Given up on getting sleep,
I’m letting go of any hope, it’s cheap,
I’m in too deep
I’ve counted stars, begging them to feed me
I’ve licked my scars, hoping it would heal me
I took my meds, got out of bed
Closed my eyes and would see red
But now my sanity has gone fishing
My humanity has gone fishing
No empathy or sympathy
I’m left with this epiphany that now
I’ m gone
My sanity has gone fishing
My humanity has gone fishing
Now I’ve found my peace, serenity
The sea of tranquility for me
My sanity has gone fishing
Please don’t bother me I’ve gone fishing
Found my truest love, insanity
My ultimate sobriety
The beat, the words the melody
I’ve gone fishing.
