Busyhead

You're weak on the surface
You speak when you're nervous
And all the wrong words seem right in your head
You can't stand the space in your bed

So you shake in the darkness
You break like an artist
And all your big plans are small the next day
You can't wait to throw them away

You perseverate
And the truth might be a million miles away

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
And lose yourself inside your busyhead
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
All alone inside your busyhead
Your busyhead

You sleep in the moment, but dream like a poet
And all your good grace, like faded tattoos
You spend your days in wait for bad news

So you perseverate
And the truth might be a million miles away

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
And lose yourself inside your busyhead
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
All alone inside your busyhead

Going nowhere
Fast enough to tell a lie
Give yourself an alibi
You've been gone lately

Stand upon your peace of mind
You're bound to fall if you take your time
'Cause we're all waiting

And you can stare below into the abyss
Find a home on the edge of it
And be defined by its presence
By its size and its message

You can move along through the dark
And when you wonder where you are
You'll be proud of your weakness
So, busyhead, just keep breathing, oh
Oh, busyhead, just keep breathing
Oh, busyhead, just

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness
And lose yourself inside your busyhead
Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses
All alone inside your busyhead
You're all alone inside your busyhead
You're all alone inside your busyhead

Your busyhead
