lyrics

I’m not willowing
I’m straightening my tone
And I’ve been strangling
but I’m surfing through hope

And all the people clap their hands, and what do you do?
And all the people clap their hands, and what do you do?
I’ve got a thousand knives
that means a thousand tries
I’ve got a thousand knives
that means a thousand tries
to set it off

And everyday I’m coming down with something new
But could this be the way
I interrupt the view
The headaches
The shakes
The way we break
It’s all I know
I am alone
I’m on an anxious throne
But you, your health, your stolen wealth, the way you are
It’s a cry for help
Such a lonely life

And I’ve not been myself
in three weeks time
But you’ve said that before
And in a way it helps my mind
go back in time
when I’m alright

I’m working all day, crying all night
Got my dress shoes on just to feed my kid
No I’m not upset, I’m just on edge
And what can be done about the day by day?

I've got a doctor’s note from a cackling crow
My hair's been chopped but it’s all fucked up
And I’m waiting til noon just to eat my lunch
And what can done about the day by day?

The garage door’s closed, and the front door locked
Got a message for the wife, but she’s still drunk
It’s been thirteen years, and we haven’t talked much
What can be done about the day by day?

It’s a terminal case, I’ll be dead in three months
Got my jumpsuit on and I’m ready to work
No I’m not upset, I’m just on edge

And what can be done about the…
I am not willowing, I’m straightening my time
And I've been suffering, and now I’m taking control
And now I'm taking control
