had a dream about leaving town
woke up and it was gone
some day you never wake up
some days you just don't want to
these things they take away from you
steal the light right from your eye
and if the best revenge is living well
i'm not sure it's working out
i laid down and the days went by
no compass for this isolation
let's drown out the world in these headphones
but not the voice between your ears saying
"you are what you repeatedly do"
i don't know how to leave those days upon the table
these things they take away from you
steal the light right from your eye
and if the best revenge is living well
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out
