Lyrics Coping Mechanism - Shovels & Rope
I've
got
to
find
a
better
coping
mechanism
I'm
falling
apart,
disintegrating
in
the
schism
Is
it
a
show
or
is
it
realism
Lost
and
found
and
then
I
was
locked
up
in
a
prison
I
better
find
a
more
suitable
solution
Before
I
reach
the
most
predictable
conclusion
To
be
the
victim
of
my
personal
delusion
Just
to
find
that
I've
been
living
an
illusion
They
say
there's
just
no
substitute
for
the
real
thing
The
kind
of
chemical
that
can
make
your
whole
body
sing
You
can
take
the
needle
and
shove
it
in
your
vein
And
call
it
medication
to
alleviate
your
pain
I
do
my
best
to
keep
the
confusion
to
a
minimum
I'll
try
not
to
be
the
monster
of
the
millennium
Someday
they'll
thank
us
for
the
hell
that
we
was
givin'
'em
When
all
of
this
time
we
just
hope
we
were
borderline
offendin'
'em
They
say
there's
just
no
substitute
for
the
real
thing
The
kind
of
chemical
that
can
make
your
whole
body
sing
Scrub
it
till
you're
bleedin'
but
you
can't
scrub
out
the
stain
Leave
your
mouth
wide
open
while
you're
drowning
in
the
rain
Put
your
head
down,
wipe
the
spit
out
your
eye
Ain't
nobody
coming
to
your
poor
me
parade
When
trouble
comes
to
your
door,
what
you
ignoring
it
for
You'll
be
standing
there
helpless
when
it
comes
on
in
Say
there's
just
no
substitute
for
the
real
thing
The
kind
of
chemical
that'll
make
your
whole
body
sing
You
can
test
your
merit,
you
can
show
it
some
restraint
But
in
the
end,
you're
just
a
predictable
refrain
Oh,
ain't
nothing
like
the
real
thing
The
kind
of
chemical
that'll
make
your
whole
body
sing
You
can
test
your
merit,
you
can
show
it
some
restraint
But
in
the
end,
you're
just
a
predictable
refrain
Poison
in
your
brain,
('cause
your
heart
has
been
mislain)
You're
gonna
die
just
the
same,
(for
a
dream
you
could
not
attain)
You
drove
yourself
insane,
(and
there's
nobody
left
to
blame)
You
carry
on
an
complain
Till
you
forget
your
name
