lyrics

So now I’m back to my old ways
Lonely nights and empty days
Sun goes down the light it fades
Crawling in the bed I made
Things are looking up
Reaching for the top
Catching what I drop
Hoping it won’t stop
Wake up late to sleep the same
Nothing ever seems to change
Retrace the steps inside my head
Toss and turn within my bed
Knife sinking deeper
Angling steeper
It goes round
Going round
Bitterly swallow
Feeling so hollow
And down
Sliding down
Full melancholy
Shambolic folly
Unwound
Comes unwound
Grey cloud develops
Fully envelops
My crown
‘Bout my crown
In a trench my tires spin
Round and round again again
Hope with luck my tread will catch
Break free from your clutch at last
But I’m coming round
Making up lost ground
Taking what I found
Letting it compound
Waiting for my luck to turn
A better bounce I sorely yearn
But I can’t kid the one inside
Know just where the path shall lie
Knife sinking deeper
Angling steeper
It goes round
Going round
Bitterly swallow
Feeling so hollow
And down
Sliding down
Full melancholy
Shambolic folly
Unwound
Comes unwound
Grey cloud develops
Fully envelops
My crown
‘Bout my crown
I’m coming back again
To meet you at the end
Think I’ve mailed it in
Don’t know where I’ve been
Believe the well’s run dry
Know the reason why
It’s how the story ends
Hit return to send
Knife sinking deeper
Angling steeper
It goes round
Going round
Bitterly swallow
Feeling so hollow
And down
Sliding down
Full melancholy
Shambolic folly
Unwound
Comes unwound
Grey cloud develops
Fully envelops
My crown
‘Bout my crown
