"Batteries" lyrics

I've been praying for a break
If it's not one thing, it's another
No, there's never an escape
Hyper thoughts like electricity
Fall asleep, they follow me
Can't keep up at this speed

Wish I could pull the plug for one night
Power it down and for a moment, I'd feel nothing
Let the lights go out
If all the circuits blow, maybe then I'd find some peace
I'd disconnect just for a second
Oh, what beautiful relief

Cut the fuse
Kill the sound
Can I just take my batteries out?
I'll take my batteries out

Kinda jealous of the way
There's people out there that can clock out
Must be nice to separate
Must be nice to walk away
But there's a voltage in my body
Hit me like a lightning strike
And now it's in my nature
I don't know why

Wish I could pull the plug for one night
Power it down and for a moment, I'd feel nothing
Let the lights go out
If all the circuits blow
Maybe then I'd find some peace
I'd disconnect just for a second
Oh, what beautiful relief

Cut the fuse
Kill the sound
Can I just take my batteries out?
Cut me loose
Do it now
Please someone, take these batteries out

Oh, take my batteries out

Slow it down, oh, set me free
Can't keep up at this speed
No way out, I'm in too deep
Being human's killing me
Slow it down, oh, set me free
Can't keep up at this speed
No way out, I'm in too deep
Being human's killing me
