lyrics

the muscles in your face reminding you it’s not time to sleep yet
you tell them to relax and they do ‘til they forget
your furrowed brow speaking a language unknown
one from within, one that’s your own

and you can’t understand it, you wonder some nights
if that message will die off to nocturnal sights
or if those, too, will carry you and your worries into view
encoded in toasters in love at the zoo

fight, fight, fight, fight, fight the urge to give in
fight, fight, fight, fight or just let normality win
your self is a thing that can cost you your friends
but you’d sleep like a baby when the day ends

the six year old you knows what to do if you will listen
your seventy-year old self will be just as new – nothin’ will be missin’
your wrinkled smile, speaking a language well-known
becoming yourself, becoming your own

you just might distract yourself enough to get rest
you’re not at your worst but you’re not at your best
your heart holds you hostage though you don’t pay it mind
this torture created is the most selfish kind
looking for yourself, who knows what you’ll find
