Only a Wheel’s Worth

Motor to a town, and waltz around the floor

Shuffle to a shack where you have never been before

Nine days out at five, spent pacing 'round your room

Positive distraction with a daily dose of doom

What's even left to consume?

Twenty scenes of love in rigid little squares

For this to hold me back, I'd have to hardly be aware

If you can speak the truth, then don't be so discreet

'Cause I can spot a lie in any person I meet

There isn't anyone who really complete

Stop to fill me up, oh, I've been here before

A hundred million options, and they're coming up with more

Take a deeper breath, and smell the cheap perfume

But don't you start to wonder what they're whiffing off of you?

'Cause you've been high for days, with sweat on every shirt

Bleeding out while people watch when they get off of work

Cashier shoots me a look, a habit, or some goal?

Just tryna find some empathy for some collective soul

Twelve eyes and a wheel's worth of control

Oh, my soul

Twelve eyes and a wheel's worth of control
