I wish I was oblivious
and didn’t notice it all

I want to be oblivious
and ignore the rise and fall

Maybe i’d be happy if i was unaware

Maybe i’d be happy if it wasn’t all so clear

The pollen in the air doesn’t know where it should go
It finds a flower anyway
wherever
the
wind
will
blow

When I play my life by ear
it all just melts away
All the things I think I hear
make less sense everyday

My brain’s a candle BURNIN' LOW
My heart’s an EMPTY HOLE
I’m feeling LESS AND LESS each day
But it still HURTS IN MY SOUL
Take your cue and LET ME BE
Turn and WALK AWAY
Confusion will SET ME FREE
And then I’ll FIND MY WAY

I wish that I was blind
and didn’t see all of the facts
I want to be blind
and overlook these senseless acts

Maybe I’d see truth if I didn’t know myself

Maybe I’d see truth if I saw like someone else

My brain’s a candle BURNIN' LOW
My heart’s an EMPTY HOLE
I’m feeling LESS AND LESS each day
But it still HURTS IN MY SOUL
Take your cue and LET ME BE
Turn and WALK AWAY
Confusion will SET ME FREE
And then I’ll FIND MY WAY

The judgement’s always final
when you commit a crime

Punishment will happen
whether it is coarse or it is fine

I always think I’m on the top and that my choice was right
But then I’m on the defense and have to fight and fight and fight

My brain’s a candle BURNIN' LOW
My heart’s an EMPTY HOLE
I’m feeling LESS AND LESS each day
But it still HURTS IN MY SOUL
Take your cue and LET ME BE
Turn and WALK AWAY
Confusion will SET ME FREE
And then I’ll FIND MY WAY
