lyrics

I’m too busy working
And finding where I’m hurting
And making never ending plans

Stretched too far from living
And taking all I’m given
I’ve barely got the strength to stand

Please tell me what to be
I can never seem to see
The way to make some meaning last

If you tell me where to go
I will soon be on the road
Making haste to nowhere fast

Signs in summer
Say you’re bound to be someone
Then comes autumn
And the shedding of leaves
Winter’s chill and
All you beg for is comfort
Still I wait for spring

Fate and fable circle
And tragic tales will detail
How supply can never meet demand

Never see life coming
And hit the pavement running
And the two mistakes go hand in hand

To those who bleed the same
I would say, ‘I feel your pain’
But I’d rather wait till mine has passed

Bearing all this in my mind
I seldom set aside the time
To see I’m going nowhere fast

Signs in summer
Say you’re bound to be someone
Then comes autumn
And the shedding of leaves
Winter’s chill and
All you beg for is comfort
Still I wait for spring

Left for dead
By all the lies that I’ve lived by
So lifting up
Means only further to fall
Nothing new
Seems to catch so what should I
Do with all this now?
