lyrics

VERSE

God, why do I have to write my chords,
All over the piano board?
Seems, Like all these progressions are the sounds of all the thinking that I can’t afford.

Why, do I only have to speeds?
Got, whiplash from my wants and needs.
These, delicate foundations of the happy little life I try my best to lead.

Where, did the passing time go?
So, high and then I’m so damn low.
I’m lost again before I know.
I’m screwing up the whole damn…

Show, staring as the stunning lead.
So you’ll believe.
That I’m free.

CHORUS

Well the jokes on me.

I’ve racked up a thousand cruel attacks upon my vanity.
Agony I have no right to.
Could it be,
My mind is my worst enemy?

VERSE

And, I’m feeling like I’m black and blue.
From this obsession that I have with you.
You’re, only in my head and yet you leave your tread on every little thing I do.

You’ve,
Got me on an iron string.
Don’t, know which direction I’ll swing.
I’m bated then equated to the nightmare that my mirror won’t stop reflecting.

Where,
Did my piece of mind go?
So, high and then you bring me low.
Good, god I’m ready to outgrow.
This, pathological shit show.

Oh, starring as the stunning lead.
So, you’ll believe.
That I’m free

CHORUS

Well the jokes on me

I’ve racked up a thousand cruel attacks upon my vanity.
Agony I have no right to.
Could it be,
My mind is my worst enemy?

BRIDGE
Oh, my worst enemy,
it’s clear to see.
Is every night I’m up till three o’clock,
Lost in reverie for what I’ll never be.
