lyrics

wasting my time, stealing myself
my mind keeps playing tricks on me
night after night i've tried to let it go
but these restless times won't let me be

i wanna breathe in a million stars
i wanna separate the truth from the lies
i wanna jump clean over the moon
and exhale pollution from my mind

day by day i tell myself i'm getting stronger
what i want, all i want is getting smaller

the power and the glory, reduced to soundbytes
the brain is living but they've cut out the heart
the old cliches are all i'm hearing
mumbling mantras to myself in the dark

don't sweat the petty things, don't pet the sweaty things
don't let the bastards grind you down
i wanna believe we can save the dream
and it's not too late to turn the ship around

i lay awake while the world is sleeping
overdose on solutide again
i lay awake and wonder where i came from
i hear the birds sing to me at night

so if the truth is out there, here's to the future
here's to proving that it can't be denied
but business is business
and time has never been on our side

day by day we tell ourselves we're getting stronger
what we want, all we want is getting smaller
day by day the big truth is getting smaller
day by day, every day
