[Verse 1] The suffocating delay of things The contradictory part of it The hypocritical thoughts that fill my mind each waking moment [Verse 2] The ever present delay The irrefutable strain The indecision that makes you leave but won't let you stay [Verse 3] The dark and dusty departments in The undercover unsightly scene The indisputable fact that I'm not dirty but I'm not clean [Verse 4] The firm and strangling hold The gap from stories untold The weak philandering mold you call your day, today, today [Verse 5] The funny gestures I make When all I'm being is fake A part of me wants to give but all I do is take and take (Oh just take it away)
