Please excuse my style today
It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just a phase.
The restless dog is at my heels,
Nipping, biting no matter how I pray.
The more I try to use my eyes,
The more I see the picture start to fray.
The moon becomes the sun
Becomes the moon again,
The pendulum will sway.
It swings swings swings,
It swings so hard.
It hits hits hits
It hits so hard.
My mind goes walking through itself,
Looking for the water in the well,
But he don’t know the well’s got legs
And keeps his secret safely from the swell.
So please excuse my mood today,
It’s not that I’m unkind, I just tend to dwell
On everything outside of me
And all the stories you will never tell.
It swings swings swings,
It swings so hard.
It hits hits hits
It hits so hard.
It swings swings swings,
It swings so hard.
It hits hits hits
It hits so hard.
Tell me something I don’t know
Before I get dumber.
Show me something new
Cause I’m already kind of bored.
Yeah maybe I stole your fire
But can you really blame me?
Cause what’s the good of fire
If you’re just going to sit and stare?
Don’t just sit and stare.
