Headlights burning right through the rain
My eyes can’t see much despite the strain
White halo around a fervent moon
Disperse, reflecting back, into my room
I’m so tired, wide awake in my bed
Can’t turn it off, I’ll fall asleep when I’m dead
I’m so wired, so much in my head
Can’t turn it off, I’ll fall asleep when I’m
Sheets unravel with a shallow breath
The weight settles down into my chest
It’s come to this house to see me again
I don’t know what it is or when it will end
I’m so tired, wide awake in my bed
Can’t turn it off, I’ll fall asleep when I’m dead
I’m so wired, so much in my head
Can’t turn it off, I’ll fall asleep when I’m
Dead. Dead.
Shadow man whispers in my ear
Says now darling, the end is near
Wind is howling, ravens fly on by
As I sink deep into the black of his eye
I’m stuck here waiting, for an exit
Body paralyzed inside the mind
House of mirrors, an aberration
Trapped within this waking dream of mine

It

I keep on hearing about the same old thing
It's getting on my nerves
It emanates through the walls next door
It makes my guts churn
I'm sick to death of hearing all about it
Everywhere I go
Yet it's the very first thing on my mind until my head hits the pillow
A lot of folks go looking for it
All around!
People fighting on the streets about it
Every day
I don't really wanna talk about it
But someday I gotta get it
It seems like everyone's got it but me
Maybe they have, big whoop
A dime a dozen everywhere I look
Why brag about it if it isn't any good
It isn't anybody's business
But I want it I want it
It shouldn't be that hard for someone like me
I've been searching all around
I want in on some action
It isn't anybody's nevermind
But if you got it let me know

I feel so nervous about where I’ll go
And getting there
And when I speak, I wonder
What’s this shit that’s spilling out my mouth
Guided from a hidden place of insecurity
That’s taken over all of me
I’m left to figure it out
And I wasn’t this way when I was younger
But that’s how it goes
From the moment you’re born
you’re no longer guarded from it all
And i remember how my leg looked
before I got the scar
and how I used to sit and wonder
what the fuck is gonna come next
I never cared about a mirror
until I was 12 years old
Now I only see my flaws
I guess that’s doing what we’re told
I just wanted this world to be free
Like the fantasy
We’re just animals trying to make sense
of uncertainty
