    this song is about a scene in the book "the stranger" by albert camus where the main character is on trial for murdering a person and he is really tired and generally indifferent. a more punk version appeared on the album before this, "mercy" as "a thousand downers" but I included the demo version on this album because I thought it was better and peeps should hear it. oh, and obviously the title of this song is an eminem line.

lyrics

The demons in my brain kept me awake in my cell at an ungodly hour of the night. I’m so exhausted in this courtroom now I’m very nearly closing both my eyes. I try to focus on the words of the prosecution as they deliberate my life, so as not to appear irreverent to the jury seated to my right. I can feel their hateful spite. They know I killed a man. The press are here to witness me nodding off with my chin in my palm like a dick. I want to tell them I respect the judicial system, I just under-slept, I’m not sick. If it means my freedom back, I’ll gladly feign interest as attorneys argue semantics, if not for every fiber of my physical being being forced to recognize the fact that I need some shut eye quick. The jury returns with their verdict: they say I killed a man. His blood’s on my hands. I’m bound for the can. Oh my fucking god!
