figuring something went wrong, plugged in holes in the meaningless equation and came up empty on a shore walking along the water

You ripped off my money
Soul's in limbo
My arms akimbo
Now we're so polite it could kill a flower in bloom
Nobody speak too soon
You'll ruin it all
I got a feeling I could speak 'til I get blue in the cheeks
And still it'd be plenty of weeks
Time
And Time again
It's always time
Not enough time
The sands in an hour glass all became pearls
In the oyster's mouth, it was its own world
Now I'm taking a wish
And blowing its mind out
Out at sea
Out in its Sunday best
I got to believe what I see on the TV screen
Because I don't got no choice
I believe everything you say to me
(I already said it)
Even the lies
Because it's too beautiful to think
With my cracked mind
And my twisted logic
Is it toxic or nontoxic
A man's gotta eat
Keep away from the fire
And blowing its mind out
Out of what it always needed
Out at sea
So polite it could kill a flower in bloom
Still it would not unfold
For anyone but me
For everyone but me
I'm always losing things
Out in the worst way
Out because you lost your keys
So now it's 5, 6, 7, 8 hours until the next train will come
Do you hear the traffic dying?
Lull it to sleep
The moon sighed me to sleep too
And I was wide awake in a daydream
Oh yeah
Someday
But not today
Someday soon
This will all come back to you
ruin it all
Time
And Time again
So set your alarm and kill another day
In limbo

Don't piss in my stream of consciousness
Don't let them judge you
You never gave a fuck what they thought
I thought
So pull the dagger out
Take a pat on the back again
What's the difference
Add it up
Nothing's something, right?

It's too beautiful to think today
Or I think there's something wrong with my thinking
Oh yeah
Someday
But not today
Someday soon
You'll be my gift
And I'll never take it back
But
It's too beautiful to think today
Or I think there's something wrong with my thinking
Oh yeah
Someday
But not today
Someday soon
