Usually (a confession)

Usually I'm waiting it out

For the dust in the air to come down

Usually I'm waiting it out

For the light in the stars to bleed out

Cause being awake can be too hard to take

So I do what I do I escape

And I wait

Usually I'm shaking my head

At the hungry high wire heroes

Usually I turn and I go

Back to sleep and alone

Cause being awake can be too hard to take

So I do what I do I escape

And I wait

But you wouldn't know it

Cause I never show it

I get along fine

Biding my time

I get along fine for now

But then sometimes I rise with the day

And I hold my daughter and son

And I think that I know how the stars get their glow

And I need it I need it today

And I wait

But you wouldn't know it

Cause I never show it

I get along fine

Biding my time

I get along fine

But I'm losing my mind
