Standard (EADGBE)

There's a life full, dangling from string

It's slowly swaying over my head now

As I jot down the words that will never be solved

And wait for my headache to numb

And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing

And the moon's just a torn fingernail

As the TV flickers in homes by the wall

And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

Not pride, I choke on ambition

And the old folks circle their graves

And the young ones are busy destroying their heirs

And the heirs are still just wasting away

I sit and watch this screen for a message

Some kind of sign that says we're ok

But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing on

And I wait for my conscience to break

Instrumental

So...

So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow

I hope you are learning to listen

And I hope you are learning to stay

And I hope you find what you are missing

And I hope they're making your way

I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving

And my head hurts if I don't sit still

It's an itch that I never stop scratching

It's a hole that I'll never quite fill

So...
