I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head
腦子裡聲音嗡響不住,我得與它好好相處
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
你認為我癲狂日篤,是,認為我癲狂日篤

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
我想要名氣,但不是《新聞週刊》的封面

For wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways

Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
名氣讓我成了個氣球,因為我的自我開始膨脹
When I blew; see, it was confusing
——當我出了名;看見嗎,這很讓人迷惑
Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody
