lyrics
Haven’t drunk in days, stopped thinking of sneaky ways to get out of this mess
Running up and down the road in all my old clothes to get free of this excess weight
Don’t you try, to calm me down
I’m already calm
Just waiting for the storm
Pictures flash up on the screen and they are more obscene than anything I have ever seen,
Suddenly don’t feel so clean, desperate to wash away the bad dreams that haunt me.
Don’t you try to cheer me up
I’m really quite happy
You’ll just have to believe me.
Picking up the phone talking to the dialling tone having one way conversations
Disappearing into thoughts escaping what reality has to offer.
Don’t you try, to bring me back
I’m already here, just waiting for you to notice.
And don’t you try, to calm me down
I’m already calm, just waiting for the storm.
