You're taking water, you're losing shape You're wide asleep, wide asleep and fast awake You read, you don't understand what you're reading You pray, you can't believe what you're hearing You've got to smile You've got to smile with it out of shape You can forgive yourself the time All the time in the world but not the space You're underestimated and you're overboard In the very moments you should be You don't get angry anymore
Just tired of saying something and tired from doing nothing You keep taking water and pa**ing faith Looking like a heap while you're standing straight Tired from doing nothing You play for someone's daughter, sincere and deep After waiting out the past five hours And they're cruel enough to make you appear Polite and not take it personally When you're tired, tired of saying something
