I'm Tired, Robbie

from Twilight at a Burning Hill by Midwestern Dirt

/

lyrics

Strung up again, trying to make amends
I can't fall if I'm already on the ground
So take me home, or open a window
Cause I'm tired of these snakes
Eating their young
And they're eating me too

And I don't hear as well anymore
My eyes are getting tired
But they always find the floor
And I know there are angels
Dressed in white
But I can't look without going blind

And in my dreams
I drowned in the rain
And melted in the sun
And I'm blinded
Hell, I'm blinded
By everyone

Have we reached nowhere?
I don't see an escape
But I can't sit aside
Without giving up the fight
With the grey hovering around
There's too many lights in this town
Full of rubbernecks
And too many witnesses

But I want to burn the world down
And let it regrow
But I don't think we deserve it

You thought you caught me smiling
When I awoke
But you were wrong
Cause every man's island
Waiting to croak
You're all mirrors and smoke
You came here unannounced
Knocking at the door
Asking for more
But there is no refuge
It's not like before
There's no direction home
