I remember giving up the gory details And it left me tongue-tied (such an elementary sickness) Now i don't want to think and i don't want to feel I wasn't aware that this was part of the deal When i put my finger on a greater expectation But just my luck, i lack the patience of a statesman And all of my language will fail to convey That i'm terribly twisted around what i say And the message i threw away I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now So i keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me But time is wasting and i'm watching it desert me I'm digging a hole and i'm making it deep And i'm starting to question the hours that i keep And the answer that i put to sleep I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now And so i'm writing with the hope that someone's reading For all to likely runs the risk of me repeating But i don't have the guts to prevent the decay And i'm terribly twisted around what i say And the courage that i threw away I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now I don't have it now
