lyrics

So I've got my working days
I've got my hallowed days away
my hands keep pushing on, my hands they always know the part
And no matter how i get away,
I'm just not meant to stay
I'll clench my jaw you see
I'll give you that for free

but oh my head is gone
its shriveled up and fallen off,
no no,I don't need it on,
I swear I'll still do the job,
cuz everybody has to please,
be perfect in their infancy,
I guess it's hard to see
What we're meant to be

and as my life is draining down and down swear I
watch it swirl spinning round and round I
turn my head away and force a laugh oh,
it's so surreal

so if I keep on keepin’ on
will money come? or time be gone?
I hold my grimness in, I hold my winnings in
And no one has the nerves to say,
we're just the useless fray.
I'm not sure what you mean but
I see you clench your teeth.

Well I've got work to do,
yeah I've got things to do
I hide behind the truth
that there's nothing else to do
All of my time is gone,
I swear my time is gone
I don't know what went wrong but
I'm not up to par

and as my life is draining down and down I
watch it swirl spinning round and round I
turn my head away and force a laugh oh you know,
it's so surreal

so as I pack all of my things away
I know just what I'd like to say
I know which thoughts I'd like to save
and others just won't stay away but
never is moment lost
when someone else is still your boss
I just smile at that,
I just smile at you-
cuz I've got work to do
yeah I've got things to do
I hide behind the truth
that I don't know what else to do
I'm scared to death that this is,
I'm scared to death to quit,
I'm scared to death that this is it
I'm scared to question,

and as my life is draining down and down I
watch it swirl spinning round and round I
turn my head away and force a laugh oh,
it's so surreal

As I'm getting out suspiciously well,
To go and find a more judicious sell,
Another place to turn my brain off as well,
It never ends
