Light turned dark, time so slow the ticking
A year goes by oh so fast, you know
When I was young, it wasn't easier
Responsibilities, indecisions
Where will I be when tomorrow comes?
I'll wait and see, will it be easier
Here I sit in front, in front of my television set
They tell me I'm dead, that I just
Didn't know what yet
I will believe them
When my telephone is dead
You know, I know, they know, we know
Nothing at all
When all ends fail, then all is well
Dark turn light, I can see again
Might as well feel myself, was I out of shape
When the mirror cracked
Bought some weights to workout night and day
I finally broke the habit
When I longed for my cigarettes
Am I just smoking now?
Light turn dark, and I start my contemplating
Want out of here, I can't stand being alone
Even though, I've been alone
For the best of my years
He knows, she knows, they know, we know
Nothing at all
What life's about, I'm missing out
Time's so boring, I might as well be somebody
Never losing it, or choosing it. Paranoia
Moving up, air so thin, keep breathing
Smoke in my lungs was soothing
Am I working now? Is this the better life?
Keeping up, fear of heights, keep falling
Holding on for dear life
Mother, am I losing you, for another wife
Sweating out tears in a workout salon
Pushing pound after pound
And I don't feel strong
Oh my god, am I getting there?
Time so boring, I decided to be somebody
Never losing it, or choosing it
Hello, paranoia
I don't Know
I don't know, I just don't know
You ask me why, I answer with lies
I'd make a decision, instead I just hide
I'd cut an incision, when I want to survive
And I don't know, I don't know why
My eyes are wet and my hands are dry
The scenery and machinery
Can't comprehend
And I don't want to pretend
A season brings changes on magazine pages
See what his new, is it new to you?
I haven't the faintest idea what it's all about
TV turned sour, their images devour my soul
I don't know, I just don't know
Give me a reason to be as cold
Changes are relevant, sometimes perverse
I can't accept this tyrant's mess
They're doing my head, my tummy they fed
With empty truth, how do you get by?
And life goes on, oh, with things left undone
The chip on my shoulder, it weighs a ton
Down with the thunder, down the rain falls
Down on my head, with a pitiful slam
Tarred and feathered, it's now or never
Got to pack my luggage and be what I'll be
Into the jungle, it's dark out there
I can't see light, there is no one there
To take care of me, to take care of you
If that's what it's all about
Then I just don't know
Times are tough, and I've had enough
Cannot change the world, can't change myself
I'll be what I'll be, if you let me be
But I won't accept this tyrant's mess
When they laugh in my face, ha, ha, ha, ha!
From one step above, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Somehow somewhere, the taste of home
