I had a pa**ion for strangers
And prescription pain k**ers
Now, is that so bad?
I do what I do but i don't do what you did
We got a wicked ignition and the devil makes three
I'm just trying to rev up my engine
Are you trying to punish me?
I was born to a little dead angel
She dressed my wounds in tape and paper
She said,"does it still hurt real bad?"
I am where i am and you're where you're at
It's like the search that's on inside of me
And one day'll sail past my eyes
You can see the flicker of something
I've been trying to find
We weren't here at the same time
She was leaving just as i arrived
She touched my hand as she went past
And said, "your heart is all you have
And if asking for directions
Proves that you are lost
Well, how else you ever gonna
How you gonna get where you want?"
Come on
I look at all the things I purchased
When i was feeling worthless
but the stores became cages
holding blank faces and time wasted
And time is pa**ing time is dying
Time is history
And in all this time
the clocks' hands never once reached out for me
You can tell now that I'm tired
Oh, it's exhausting to be so diligent in my vigilance
To have a heart that never sleeps
So this lullaby (??) never be complete
Or I might close my eyes to dream of the idleness of being
Just like a soldier up all hours waiting for the enemy
I'm always watching, always guarded
Oh, my heart never sleeps
My heart never sleeps
My heart never, my heart never
My heart never sleeps
