    Lyrics
    3 AM, I'm drunk again,
    My head is standing underneath my puke
    So make it stop, I'm getting off.
    Make it stop, I'm getting off.

    Sedatives and dizzy spells
    And spilling my guts out beneath my puke
    So make it stop, I'm getting off.
    Make it stop I'm getting off.

    Well, slipped into a coma once again.
    Where's my organ donor?
    Lend a hand.

    So when you think you're all alone
    No one's left to come around
    Drop like flies and empathize
    Cause I know that I will someday
    And I know that I will suffocate
    Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate

    One night stands and cheap regrets
    I take another drag off of my cigarette
    So stop, I'm getting off
    Make it stop, I'm getting off

    One last stop for one track mind
    Just give me shelter, give me give me something
    Make it stop, I'm getting off
    Make it stop, I'm getting off

    Well, slipped into a coma once again
    Where's my organ donor?
    Lend a hand

    So when you think you're all alone
    No one's left to come around
    Drop like flies and empathize
    Cause I know that I will someday
    And I know that I will suffocate
    Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate

    So when you think you're all alone
    No one's left to come around
    Drop like flies and empathize
    Cause I know that I will someday
    And I know that I will suffocate
    Cause I know that I will someday
    And I know that I will suffocate
    Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate
