Agony

Eels · Shootenanny! [2003]

Not gonna be alright

No, I'm not gonna be alright

nothin' is alright now

not gonna see the sun come up

when i'm goin' down

'cause everyday i'm here

all i feel is sheer

agony



Friends tellin' me

that maybe i need

some pychiatric help

yeah, they're always so quick to tell you

just how to get over it



I look into the mirror

and all i see is age fear

and agony



If i could just remember what it was like

when i was younger

oh, the joy and happiness

replaced with hunger



and all i've got to show

for the seeds that didn't grow

is agony
