It's 10AM and I'm shaking again
From another night at sea with three sheets to the wind
If I say "I'm seeking dry land", I'm telling tall tales
Because when I come up for air, I'm always under a spell
But there's a show tonight that I wanna go see
But my racing thoughts keep outrunning me
But if I baptize myself in a fifth of whiskey
Someone might meet you there who resembles me
If every itch my Midas finger scratches
Turns from gold to piss in the wind
Then swaddle me in all your fine fabrications
I ain't comfortable in my skin
But no one's gonna tell you
Yeah, no one's gonna save you from yourself
When everybody's burning
Sweating in their threads of invisible silk
I saw you spilling your guts on the Ryman stage
Where I once saw myself at an optimistic age
Before I got too f*cked up to carry on (the show must go on)
So I fashioned myself in new emperor's clothes
If every itch my Midas finger scratches
Turns from gold to piss in the wind
Then swaddle me in all your fine fabrications
I ain't comfortable in my skin
But no one's gonna tell you
Yeah, no one's gonna save you from yourself
When everybody's burning
Sweating in their threads of invisible silk
If it's all in my head, I'll make believe I'm fine
Psychosomatic dread ain't a way to live your life
Good night, remember tomorrow, if it comes
The mess we make's our own
But we suffer all as one, oh woe
Good night, tomorrow morning's yellow sun
It shines for you, it shines for me
It drives out the darkness in everyone
But no one's gonna tell you
Yeah, no one's gonna save you from yourself
When everybody's burning
Sweating in their threads of invisible silk
If it's all in my head, I'll make believe I'm fine
Psychosomatic dread ain't a way to live your life
If it's all in my head, I've gotta battle to fight
Psychosomatic bliss ain't a way to live your life
It's your, it's your life, it's your life
It's your, it's your life, it's your life
It's your, it's your life, it's your life
