Where’s your verse, your verb, proverb, lesson learned
Are you our of words, out of time, out of mind. (No, I’m doin’ fine)
What’s the worst that could happen if the nurse
Ain’t back when your birth turns blue (It’s a matter of time)
With a doubting will to live keep downing
Little pills down a little bit more in you
No feelings, smooth sailing, in this sinking ship
Taking the devil in the details again and again
Wasting every bit of free will from your skin
Oh, there’s no way to save a shred of the day
When it’s weathered and worn away nightly
We keep killing time in the blink of an eye
Trying to walk a straight line with a kaleidoscope eyes
As we’re flooding the brain till the levees break
With no memory we’re destined to repeat this injury
No feelings, smooth sailing, in this sinking ship
Taking the devil in the details again and again
Wasting every bit of free will from your skin
Was it what you wanted (taken)
Forbidden from the garden (wasted)
Was it what you wanted.
The devil in the details again and again
I’ve used up all the time I’ve borrowed
Who will reunite when the tomb is hollow
Taking the devil in the details again and again
Wasting every bit of free will from your skin
Was it what you wanted (taken)
Forbidden from the garden (wasted)
Was it what you wanted.
The devil in the details again and again
