[Intro]
I wanna be the monkey on your back
I'll be your h**n
The junk in your spoon
The black in your balloon
I'll be your h**n
I will numb away
The pain of the everyday
[Verse 1]
The itch that you itch
Just as soon as you prick
I'll be your h**n
The nod and the doze
As you slow in repose
I'll be your h**n
I will numb away
The pain of slipping away into
The lazy days of getting by
The soft surrender
Of no longer getting high
The days in traffic
Oh so tragic and cruel
With nowhere to go and nothing in front of you
[Verse 2]
You'll crave, and you'll need
You'll be hurt, send for me
I'll be your h**n
You'll lie and you'll steal
Just to drown what you feel
I'll be your h**n
I will numb away
The feelings that make you say
"I'm okay, and everything is doing fine
I'm alright, but I can never find the time
Work's been great, but how I hate my life
Somebody tell me, what am I doing right?"
[Hook]
I'll be your h**n
And I'll comfort you
In all of your blackest moods
I'll pull you through
I'll be your h**n
What else could I do?
[Outro]
You will need more
Just so you can feel normal
I'll be your h**n
And one day you'll see
That you'll die without me
I'll be your h**n
I will numb away
The pain of playing it safe and
Always taking the lonely road
Always backing down
And selling out
And going home
And never, ever being better than you are
The pain of being anything but a star
