The phone rings and I dont answer Good news always waits And I scream into the pillow But I never shed a tear So I tear away the blankets My heart beats bleeding knuckles In your eyes I feel the magnet Falling to the floor I melt I am higher than the mountains I am lower than the dirt All alone I sit and wonder if time will take away the hurt For years I walked in circles For a time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins Im the man around the corner Bottle in a bag Numbing pain inside me inside I step up into the sky Theres no room for the dreamer The world has shut its eyes Scratching icy fingers dig deep into my spine Your train has come and left you and theres no other on the way Three days before the end of the month and I got no place to stay For years I walked in circles For a time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins Now Im looking out my new window, cigarette in hand See the empty faces scattered like the sand Not ashamed of the way I feel I know my world is real But time and time again I run away Not ashamed of the way I feel I know my world is real But time and time again I run away For years I walked in circles For a time I stayed within In time I learned my lesson Everyday my world still spins
