lyrics

Never enough, always too much
of one thing or another
if I give up I'd be as stuck in this place
or some other cage

I can't seem to shake this from my mind
even in my sleep
yeah I know I've been going blind
that much I can see
I guess I'm asking for a little time
a little more relief
from this feeling that I will have died
before I reach the sea

These days ghost by
they don't care if they never
give you what you need
the sun glows down
the world spins round
not fast enough
to be set free

I can't seem to shake this from my mind
even in my sleep
yeah I know I've been going blind
that much I can see
I guess I'm asking for a little time
a little more relief
from this feeling that I will have died
before I reach the sea
