lyrics

Compass needles are all spinning all spinning wild
There's no true north anymore
Another dreary day nothing to report
Lost in the downpour

A safety net in freefall failing all the crash tests
But it's all downhill from your door
Phones are ringing trying to pay my respects
Yet no one's dead
Am I just out of step?
Am I still stuck in bed?
Lost in my head

Am I somehow caught on rewind?
Is my shadow stuck in time?
Where the hell am I?
Am I really fine?

Spinning through the smoke screen waiting for a sign
Did I forget my line?
Tell me one more time
Why does being tired now feel like a crime?
I don't know why
All my breaths just turn to sighs
Waiting for the sun to rise
Closing tired eyes
Dreaming of grey skies

Am I somehow caught on rewind?
Is my shadow stuck in time?
Where the hell am I?
Am I really fine?
