And I'm frustrated with myself   But I can't change   I don't want to be me anymore   And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks   That tell the time tell me this is just a phase      And everything every day   That's been scraping away   At the side of my brain   Can't come to form a thought, except...      And all the thoughts I think I've saved   Here for days that remain   Just keep eating away   And I still can't sleep, sing...      Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear   To help me get some rest   Oh my darling dear?      The songs of the birds   Don't bring calmness no more   Oh no, no they don't sing      And none of the girls seem to think you're cool   It's probably because you smell bad      A skin disease won't get you   Nowhere these days   It's true, it's sad but true      And everything every day   That's been scraping away   At the side of my brain   Can't come to form a thought      And all of the thoughts I think I've saved   Here for days that remain   Just keep eating away   And I still can't sleep I sing...      We're going to make plans   We have plans to make plans   We're going to do it right   We've locked it in our sights   I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day   We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far      And if I write enough   And think about it it'll happen   It's not as tough as mom said   As it so happens      Your analyst lied to you when   She told you the truth   About boys, fear, open sores   And things that are simple   Like opening doors      And all the thoughts I think I've saved here   For days that remain   Just eat eat eat away   And I still can't sleep, sing...
