[Chorus]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all.
And even if I could it'd all be grey
With your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

My tea's gone cold, I'm wonderin why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all.
And even if I could it'd all be grey
With your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

Dear Slim,
I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not have got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, f*ck it
What's been up man, how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself
Over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday
But I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground sh*t that you did with Scam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
I like the sh*t you did with Ruckus too, that sh*t was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

[Chorus]

Dear Slim,
You still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have the chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's f*cked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the concert
You didn't have to
But you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you for four hours
And you just said no
That's pretty sh*tty man, you're like his f*ckin' idol
He wants to be just like you man
He likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad, though, I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver?
You said if I write you, you would write back
See, I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs
So when I have a sh*tty day, I drift away and put 'em on
Cause I don't really got sh*t else, so that sh*t helps
When I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real
And I respect you cuz you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cuz I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up
You've gotta call me man
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
PS: We should be together too.

[Chorus]

Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
This'll be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word
I don't deserve it
I know you got my last two letters
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' ninety on the freeway
Hey Slim I drank a fifth of Vodka, dare me to drive?
You know that song by Phil Collins in the air in the night
About that guy who could've saved that other guy
From drowning but didn't
And Phil saw it all and at his show he found him?
Thats kinda how this is
You could've rescued me from drowning
But its too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
And all I wanted wanted was a lousy letter or a call 
I hope you know I ripped all your pictures off the wall
I loved you Slim, we could have been together
Think about it, you ruined it now
I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep
And you scream about it
I hope your conscious eats at you
And you can't breathe without me
See Slim, [girl screaming] shut up bitch, I'm trying to talk
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat
I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
Cuz if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh sh*t, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this sh*t out?

[Chorus]

Dear Stan,
I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now
How far along is she?
Look, I'm really flatterd you'd call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show
I must have missed you
Don't think I did that sh*t intentionally just to diss you
But what's this sh*t you said about
You like to cut your wrists too?
I say that sh*t just clownin', dogg,
C'mon, how f*cked up is you?
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'
To help your ass
From bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
And what's this sh*t about us meant to be together?
That type of sh*t'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter
I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself
I think that you'd be doin' just fine if you'd relax a little
I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan, why are you so mad?
Try to understand that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy sh*t
I seen this one sh*t on the news a couple weeks ago
That made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk
And she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape
But it didn't say who it was to
Come to think about it, his name was...it was you
Damn

These ideas are nightmares to white parents
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair
And who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no bearing
It's so scary
In a house that allows no swearing
To see him walking around
With his headphones blaring
Alone in his own zone
Cold in his own care
He's a problem child
And what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about
His f*cking dad walking out
Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
And if he ever saw him again
He'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked
He's mad so he's talking back
Talking black
Brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants
Blue rags and a stocking cap
His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
And broke his nose
His house is a broken home
There's no control
He just lets his emotions go

Did you ever feel like breaking down?
Did you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you?
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming?

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like to be like me

[Chorus]
To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like to be like me

[Chorus]

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You may think I'm happy, but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work, it was always there

You don't know what it's like
What it's like

[Chorus]

Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the moor
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the end, we'll wish this never ends
Wish this never ends

Where are you? And I'm so sorry
I can not sleep, I can not dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on, so haunting every time
And as I stared, I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things, and eating their insides
My indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time
I mean you're already the voice inside my head
Don't waste your time
I mean you're already the voice inside my head

Don't waste your time
I mean you're already the voice inside my head
Don't waste your time
I mean you're already the voice inside my head
