Lyrics
I'm so queasy.
Too much to drink and too little sleep again.
I can't think straight any more, no any more, no, any more, no, no.
I'm so hollow.
Too many thoughts and no conclusions.
I'm so weary.
Too many words and nothing meaning anything at all.
I was so sure that I was not wrong.
Disappointed.
What is left behind this point for me?
Disappointed.
There's nothing left for me but to continue.
Blindly, reminding me of the time when I was truly blind.
I was so sure that I was not wrong.
Winter daylight touching face among the firs and through the pines.
Winter greylight through the dusty window panes:
I'm down on Bath Street again.
Sounds of early morning traffic in the street outside my window.
Squares of light upon the carpet:
I was safe then.
I was so safe then.
