Lyrics
Restless
These walls look too familiar
I could call them each by name
The air is getting thinner
I have to go outside and feel the rain
But it’s so quiet
I can hear the plants breathing
The sun seething across the sky
I’m holding my breath
Is there anything left
I’m waiting for this moment to end
I’m so restless
Rather fail the test
Than keep on goin’
Darkness falls too quickly
Night shadows breed and multiply
The fragile stars are straining
To hold their place in a gutted sky
My heart is racing
Every joint of mine is aching
To run full speed ahead
Chorus
Another person overlooked
Small print in the phone book
Another scratch on the census list
I need to feel your touch to know that I exist
Something’s got a hold of me
A gripping force that I can’t see
The weight of it is crushing
I have to set my body free
My heart is racing
Every joint of mine is aching
To run full speed ahead
Chorus
I’m restless----------, restless, restless
I’m so restless
Rather fail the test
Than keep on goin’
Down this road
Than keep on goin’
Down this road
