Tired

How many times in a day

Can I reasonably say

I'm tired

And how many times

Can I try

In my right mind

To relight this old fire

See I'm sitting in the rain

The roof it blew away

So many yesterdays

And from the window pane

I watch the children run away

Quick like flames

This is the game

But I don't want to play

I want to stay right here in my miserable state

Don't go I'm lying

I am desperate for change

But I am desperate to feel safe

And love is not the same as knowing

About these dusty halls

And these creaking floor boards

And the sound it makes as you shut the door

Cause you're tired of how I talk and talk and talk

About how I'm trying
