I'm making a life of waiting for the "never happen to me's" to happen to me And that means one thing: Not a wink of sleep will take me through this drive tonight Alright, oh, I guess I'll make friends with the miles, But just so you know, This is not a one-way road, and rest assured I take much more after my dad and I do of yours So please sleep better than me tonight. You see, this road exists solely to Tear me in half I hope the saying goes; "to be confused is to know" 'Cause I got a ringing in one ear And reason whispering in the other ear And I am worried, because every year the whisper Tries to overtake the ringing in my other ear So, what do I do when it becomes a yell? A Yell! I've got a ringing in one I've got reason whispering in one I've got a ringing in one ear And one part fear and one part doubt With two parts craving for the road That proves this real world so wrong Let's meditate on a mess of stones A mass of arteries I don't know The net of this land weave us in The "not so sure" found something in not knowing, knowing Just so you know this is not resolved I hope the saying goes "to be confused is to know" 'Cause I got a ringing in one ear And home sounds so damn good
