we spend our lives waiting for more
while the clocks keep ticking
hot dust settles in every pore
exhausting
all this time dead and gone
killed off
put your thoughts where they belong
until the pills start to kick in you might end up being wrong
what's the point of finding purpose in denial
what's the point of leaving all of this behind
we spend our lives numbing the pain
while the clocks keep ticking
I guess we'll never beat the game
addicted
all this time dead and gone
killed off
put your thoughts where they belong
until the pills start to kick in you might end up being wrong
what's the point of finding purpose in denial
what's the point of leaving all of this behind
what's the point of even giving it a try
and now my head starts spinning cause the pills are kicking in
sounds like there are voices telling me to go on as before
and I don't know
seems like they want me to move on
and I'm way too slow
feels like I'm on a string that's steering me to take the road ahead
I want to turn instead
feels like I'm in a joke that I don't get
but while the clocks kept ticking I forgot what I just said
what's the point of finding purpose in denial
what's the point of leaving all of this behind
what's the point of even giving it a try
until the clocks stop ticking, my head keeps spinning
