This is the sound of my lungs
giving up
When I've sung more than enough
Now I can't sing
This is something that
I could do without
But I'm too far away now
I'll never make it back
My soul's being sold
in every note I hold
When the playback drones
I just recoil
No these are not
the only notes I know
They're my only hope of
singing this song
It's why I look so tired
And I've gone so quiet
I try not to show
I'm kind of pale as a ghost
And it's why I'm uninspired
And I've lost insight
Why I'm high and I'm low
And I'm ebb and I'm flow
Bite the hand that feeds you
You reap what you sow
You'll only be a winner
in an auction for my soul
When god gave out virtues
you politely held the door
Chase your dreams
on a rodent wheel
You'll only hit a wall
It's why I look so tired
And I've gone so quiet
I try not to show
I'm pale as a ghost
And it's why I'm uninspired
And I've lost insight
Why I'm high and I'm low
I'm ebb and I'm flow
