lyrics

Checking in, checking out, coming in, clocking out
I think I’ve done this before
Searching ‘round, taking off, moving on, jerking off
Hangovers and holdovers
Is my existence this uninspiring
I only live when I’m fantasizing
What I could have been, who I could have been with
Where I should have lived, when I’m gonna make it
Why do I only recall wasted years
I can’t go any more West than right here

The more I change, the more I’m set in my ways
Story of my life, and I wrote it all on a single page
Could you spare some
Change

Take a break, go along, nothing right, nothing wrong
Perfunctory existence
Stock-still, acquiescent, same shit, permanence
Mistaken for persistence
Measure myself against nemeses and friends
They’re all a means to feel insufficient

Living my life like a failed suicide attempt
Full of regret and with a will free of substance
I’m hanging on by a single interwoven thread
Hey, lady Fates, could you spin some ambition instead
And spare some
Change

I build my castle in the sky
Long live the king until I die
I build my castle in the sky
Love live the dream until I die
(REPEAT)

I don’t know what the fuck I want
But I know that I need it now
I don’t know what the fuck I want
But I know that I need you now
(REPEAT)

Better see, better if, better be, better with
Does it get better than this?
Better then, better how, better when, better now
It could be better than this
(REPEAT)
I swear…I swear
I swear
