It's taken over   Against the grain   Against the wall   I'm thinking everyday   Is nothing everlasting?      I miss your patience   I miss the ground beneath   I'm asking everything of you      I know that the way it's often said and done is unavoidable   When you're talking to yourself   I know fairy tales are make believe   But I can wait around      Up on the roof   Up on the shelf      Life   It's taken over   I can't bear when the waiting's all been done   And I've still not had my fun   It's taken over, yeah      Turn off your bedroom eyes   Sad and lonely   I'll pack up all my shit   I'll sell all my CD's      We've confirmation of no reverberation   that's why I'm asking anything of you      I know that the way it's often   Cool up on is unexplainable   When you're reading off the walls   I know fiction can't always releive   But I can wait around      Up on the roof   Up on the shelf   Life   It's taken over   I can't bear when the waiting's all been done   And I've still not had my fun      They took a razorblade   And cut them both right down   Quiet dark resume      It's taken over
