  • Lonely in this white room, there are pads everywhere
    Chafing straitjacket, I won't die in there
    Save me, smiling Jesus, get off that cross
    Hate me, screaming masses
    I don't care if I'm lost

    Don't tell me that you're all better
    I don't care if you are
    Don't tell me that you're trendsetters
    I don't care if you are

    Lowly with my head bowed, there are rats everywhere
    Feed me bread and water
    I won't die in there
    Save me, smiling Jesus, get off that cross
    Hate me, screaming masses
    I don't care if I'm lost

    Don't tell me that you're all better
    I don't care if you are
    Don't tell me that you're trendsetters
    I don't care if you are

    Say you will, take my pills
    Say you will, faking ill

    Don't tell me that you're all better
    I don't care if you are
    Don't tell me that you're bedwetters
    I don't care if you are

    Say you will, take my pills
    Say you will, faking ill
    Say you will (say you will), take my pills (take my pills)
    Say you will (say you will), faking ill Writer/s: Shaun Morgan Welgemoed

  • Josh from Seymour, InSome songs like this one Seether does really has a nirvana sound to it..I absolutly fell in love with this band when i heard "love her" many many years ago..
  • Kamil from Brooklyn, Nythis song is about the school. "Save me smiling Jesus" is about Sunday. The only day he's saved from that bulls--t. SM admited to be a religious man.
  • Tommy from Cape Town, South AfricaShawn never changed his name because his mother disowned him, he changed it because Americans struggled to pronounce it.SO he used his second name as his surname
