VS. 1
What's that ringing in my ears?
the bells of 40 some-odd years
Every single thought we get
shines upon the internet
there's nothing left to say anymore
And all of it's a pack of lies
when everything's politicized
So nothing feels okay anymore
CHORUS
I've been wound so tight I can't go on
as if I knew they way anymore
Turn me 'round to fight these fears head on
'Cause I can't run away anymore
I can't run away anymore
I can't run away, run away
VS. 2
Everyone's a rubber neck
staring at a gruesome wreck
'cause they can't turn away anymore
Presidents and world affairs
ask me for my thoughts and prayers
but I can't think or pray anymore
BRIDGE
with my head down, buried beneath the sand
CHORUS
I've been wound so tight I can't go on
as if I knew they way anymore
Turn me 'round to fight these fears head on
'Cause I can't run away anymore
I can't run away anymore
I can't run away anymore
VS. 3
I can hardly face the day anymore
There's nothing left to say
