And I'm frustrated with myself
But I can't change
I don't want to be me anymore
And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks
That tell the time tell me this is just a phase
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought, except...
And all the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep, sing...
Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear
To help me get some rest
Oh my darling dear?
The songs of the birds
Don't bring calmness no more
Oh no, no they don't sing.
But I can't change
I don't want to be me anymore
And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks
That tell the time tell me this is just a phase
And everything every day
That's been scraping away
At the side of my brain
Can't come to form a thought, except...
And all the thoughts I think I've saved
Here for days that remain
Just keep eating away
And I still can't sleep, sing...
Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear
To help me get some rest
Oh my darling dear?
The songs of the birds
Don't bring calmness no more
Oh no, no they don't sing.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
