lyrics

I build this space as a place to erase,
These ever racing thoughts
Inside my mind, it’s hard to find the time
Because I know it can’t be bought.
But I don’t have the word “no” in my vocabulary
Although I know that “no” would help my timetable vary.
So I stop to think…
“Can I reach the ceiling or not just yet?”
It’s hard to find the mindset that let’s me live with no regret.
It’s investment of my time and investment of my days.
An assessment of my life, an assessment of my ways.

Don’t think about the time.
Just think about what’s right.
And think about who you are inside.

There’s a man in my head who really likes to talk.
Keeps me from going to bed, he just runs the clock.
Can’t complain ‘cause he keeps me entertained.
His insanity is what keeps me sane.
Conversing in public places,
A distraction from all the faces.
Waiting for Sunday to feel like myself again.

Stretch and reach for my toes,
Can’t reach ‘cause I’m not flexible.
It’s the daily reminder I use to decide my optimal schedule.

Whisper to myself
And then I feel ashamed.
I never yell out loud,
But I do inside my brain.
I don’t ever feel alive and I drive myself insane.
Not sure what I’m gonna do.

Whisper to myself
And then I feel ashamed.
I never yell out loud,
But I do inside my brain.
I don’t ever feel alive and I drive myself insane.
Not sure what I’m gonna do.
What’s there left to do?

Not sure what I’m gonna do.
What is there left to do?
I never know what to do.
I’m just so confused.
Don’t think about the time.
Just think about what’s right.
And think about who you are inside.

There’s a man in my head who really likes to talk.
Keeps me from going to bed, he just runs the clock.
Can’t complain ‘cause he keeps me entertained.
His insanity is what keeps me sane.
Conversing in public places,
A distraction from all the faces.
Waiting for Sunday to feel like myself again.
