Brainwork

Been a while lost in the glass
Stuck searching deep
Like a dog
I'm a dog with a bone
I tell myself that there's nothing to find
And say I'm sore, getting old and the face that's looking back doesn't mind
Not at all

I don't know what was a lie but I know I'll never find out
And that's why I don't like to think about it
Staring at the same thing all over again
Won't change, not even an inkling
Though if you're quick you can catch me at the mirror again
Damned

If you're quick you can catch me at the mirror again
But take you're time, I'll be here all night
Got something to say but I really can't share
Instead I'll stay through the night stuck in the stare

Last night I dug up every hole
Like a dog
Like a dog with a bone
I thought I'd left it all behind
And that if pride did something for the heart it would turn out less sad
And maybe divine

I don't know what was a lie but I know I'll never find out
And that's why I don't like to think about it
Staring at the same thing all over again
Won't change, not even an inkling
Though if you're quick you can catch me at the mirror again
And if so, I won't want to talk about it
The thing about brave mistakes
They're not the only ones you make

You can only try to sympathise and make smiles
While dying on the inside
You can steal the kiss of the first sun's hit
If you're still awake at sunrise
You feel the last remains of the cartilage
Grinding in your neck
Grinding on my teeth
Gnarling at the bone
Champing at the bit
Just trying to get ahead of it

If you're quick you can catch me at the mirror again
But take you're time, I'll be here all night
Got something to say but I really can't share
Instead I'll stay through the night stuck in the stare

Got my oils burning and candles alight
Sitting down starving for the fight
With myself
And my soul
And my mind
