And I'm frustrated with myself 
But I can't change 
I don't want to be me anymore 
And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks 
That tell the time tell me this is just a phase 

And everything every day 
That's been scraping away 
At the side of my brain 
Can't come to form a thought, except... 

And all the thoughts I think I've saved 
Here for days that remain 
Just keep eating away 
And I still can't sleep, sing... 

Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear 
To help me get some rest 
Oh my darling dear? 

The songs of the birds 
Don't bring calmness no more 
Oh no, no they don't sing 

And none of the girls seem to think you're cool 
It's probably because you smell bad 

A skin disease won't get you 
Nowhere these days 
It's true, it's sad but true 

And everything every day 
That's been scraping away 
At the side of my brain 
Can't come to form a thought 

And all of the thoughts I think I've saved 
Here for days that remain 
Just keep eating away 
And I still can't sleep I sing... 

We're going to make plans 
We have plans to make plans 
We're going to do it right 
We've locked it in our sights 
I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day 
We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far 

And if I write enough 
And think about it it'll happen 
It's not as tough as mom said 
As it so happens 

Your analyst lied to you when 
She told you the truth 
About boys, fear, open sores 
And things that are simple 
Like opening doors 

And all the thoughts I think I've saved here 
For days that remain 
Just eat eat eat away 
And I still can't sleep, sing...
