Six degrees of separation

You've read the books, 
You've watched the shows, 
What's the best way no one knows, yeah, 
Meditate, hypnotized. 

Anything to take from your mind. 
But it won't, ohhhh ohhh 
You're doing all these things out of desperation, 
Ohhh ohhh, 
You're going through six degrees of separation. 

You hit the drink, you take a toke 
Watch the past go up in smoke. 
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that, 
You're better now than ever, and your life's okay 
When it's not. No. 

You're doing all these things out of desperation, 
Ohhh ohhh, 
You're going through six degrees of separation. 

First, you think the worst is a broken heart 
What's gonna kill you is the second part 
And the third is when your world splits down the middle 
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself 
Fifth, you see them out with someone else 
And the sixth is when you admit that you may have [bad word] up a little 

(Oh no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself) 
(No no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself) 

You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too, 
Anyone who'll throw an arm around you, yeah 
Tarot cards 
Gems and stones, 
Believing all that [bad word] is gonna heal your soul. 
Well it's not, no 

You're only doing things out of desperation, 
Ohhh ohhh, 
You're goin' through six degrees of separation. 

First, you think the worst is a broken heart 
What's gonna kill you is the second part 
And the third is when your world splits down the middle 
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself 
Fifth, you see them out with someone else 
And the sixth is when you admit that you may have [bad word] up a little 

No there's no starting over, 
Without finding closure, you take them back, 
No hesitation, 
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation 

No there's no starting over,
