maxresdefault (3)Waking up preoccupied,
Sour-faced and weary-eyed,
Imma take a moment, just take my time,
Gotta psych myself up just to go outside

Why’s everyone here so f*cking happy,
Why am I the one man that’s always snappin’,
In this self perpetuating pressure cabin,
That goes on and on and on

Poised like a tidal wave,
To break and then dissipate,
Seconds roll into days,
And all you can do is wait,
All you can do is wait…

Take me under like a tide,
I’m giving up cause I’ve tried and tried,
I’m getting tired of standing up to you,
Maybe it’s time that I faced the truth

Cause everybody’s got something hidden,
Spend all my time just to keep a rhythm,
All the things that I wish I didn’t,
The list goes on and on

Move over, I’m feeling, I’m stealing, the moment…
Move over, I’m feeling, I’m stealing, the moment…

Poised like a tidal wave,
To break and then dissipate,
Seconds roll into days,
And all you can do is wait,
All you can do is wait…

Poised like a tidal wave,
To break and then dissipate,
Seconds roll into days,
And all you can do is wait,
All you can do is wait…

Move over, I’m feeling, I’m stealing, the moment…
Move over, I’m feeling, I’m stealing, the moment…
