In a different room Having lifted myself from the mess that I've made What do I do? I lay myself down as my memory fades And try to remember what I have done But what is the point when that one elusive moment has forever gone? Misery swells into me Perhaps I can eventually Sail away on waves of it Or fail again in spite of it In a different room You pinch at mirrors or test your neck Then what do you do? You lay yourself down in your cold, damp bed And reinforce your broken heart Until you reach the point where you accept that there are waters you will never chart Misery swells into you But you know what you must do Sail against the waves of it Or fail to find the worth in it Please sail with me One single thud Won't disturb me up into life But I believe that I would Remove the cause of this general strife If I didn't flinch at the words that I speak If I truly believed that my one consistent failure does not make me weak Misery swells into me Perhaps I can eventually Sail away on waves of it Or fail again in spite of it Misery swells into you But you know what you must do Sail against the waves of it Or fail to find the worth in it
