Lyrics

Like a leaky faucet that eventually dies
The cataclysmic, irreversible tide
Just as soon as it swallowed, I felt it again
The creeping suspicion; you're a means to an end
And the hands that reach so near
From a mind that hardly can think clear
And the sheep that graze outside
The static pull from a hazy tide
But if you had an urge to leave
If you were a wolf, like me
If the future would cough up its roots and die
I hope you'd feel like you had tried
But I'm not perfect, you understand
You have a better conception of a realistic plan
And this is far too sensitive for your eyes
And your guitar gently weeps there by your side
In a world where I am free
I can sing and chase after what suits me
But in this murky, stagnant pond
I can't help but think of the times you've gone
And the sheep that graze outside
The static pull from a hazy tide
Some nights I can hear the call
It sings ooo, ooo
And I brace myself against the wall
I can take it, I can take it
I'm not perfect, I understand
You have a better conception of a realistic plan
And this is far too sensitive for your eyes
And your guitar gently weeps there by your side
In a world where I am free
I can sing and dance and do what suits me
But in this murky, stagnant pond
I can't help but think of the times I've won
