Back and Forth

Catch me
Underneath the waves
I'm sinking
Searching for air
I keep breathing
Somewhere to lay down my head
Somewhere to lay down my head now
Slowly slip away
I rebound
Float to the surface
Yet somehow
I don't know what to believe
I don't know what to believe

My words
Don't mean a thing
I laugh at the thought of opening
Up
Why should I try
When all you need is a hook and nice
Beats
To sweep the feet
Don't digest just eat
Eat
Best advice I ever gave is to save advice
Don't even say it
Spray it
Across from the mouth to the hand
Force feed til they barely can stand
And down they go
Faster than a cartoon anvil
Don't comprehend what I'm saying?
That's the game that I'm playing
Try as I might to fight the fight despite
Other voices all leaving me in shame

Catch me
Underneath the waves
I'm sinking
Searching for air
I keep breathing
Somewhere to lay down my head
Somewhere to lay down my head now
Slowly slip away
I rebound
Float to the surface
Yet somehow
I don't know what to believe
I don't know what to believe

Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Trapped in indecision
Gonna take some time
Stepping over rocks
Never play second fiddle
Facing the little
Face of a riddle
Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Flipping over quarters to pick a side
When the levee breaks
There will be no requital
Safe for the brittle
In the hospital

My notes
Faded long ago
In a notebook I no longer know
To read
Or write or stand
Never was a guy to ever make a plan
Ask
Me where and why
I'll do my best to make a lie you'll buy
In high demand
Take a number
Stand in line
Making faces
Made up places
Seven paces fire
Masterpieces
Left in pieces
Written in the sky
Dazed and confused
Days come unglued
It's a scary sight
They continue
Breaking in to
Shake you to your spine
Until you drop

Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Trapped in indecision
Gonna take some time
Stepping over rocks
Never play second fiddle
Facing the little
Face of a riddle
Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Flipping over quarters to pick a side
When the levee breaks
There will be no requital
Safe for the brittle
In the hospital

Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Trapped in indecision
Gonna take some time
Stepping over rocks
Never play second fiddle
Facing the little
Face of a riddle
Back and forth
And I'm stuck in the middle
Flipping over quarters to pick a side
When the levee breaks
There will be no requital
Safe for the brittle
In the hospital

Lately
I've been up all night here thinking
Getting a hold on my feelings
Now I know what to believe
Now I know what to believe
