Busyhead

You're weak on the surface

You speak when you're nervous

And all the wrong words unite in your head

You can't stand the space in your bed

So you shake in the darkness

You break like an artist

And all your big plans are small the next day

You cannot wait to throw them away

You perseverate

And the truth might be a million miles away

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

And lose yourself inside your busyhead

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

All alone inside your busyhead

Your busyhead

You sleep in the moment but dream like a poet

And all your good grace, like faded tattoos

You spend your days and wait for bad news

So you perseverate

And the truth might be a million miles away

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

And lose yourself inside your busyhead

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

All alone inside your busyhead

Goin' nowhere

Fast enough to tell a lie

Give yourself an alibi

You've been gone lately

Stand upon your peace of mind

You're bound to fall if you take your time

'Cause we're all waiting

And you can step alone into the abyss

Find a home on the edge of it

And be defined by its presence

By its size and its message

You can move along through the dark

And when you wonder where you are

You'll be proud of your weakness

So, busyhead, just keep breathin', no

Oh, busyhead, just keep breathin'

Oh, busyhead, just

Hide your secrets, disguise your weakness

And lose yourself inside your busyhead

Burn your bridges and leave no witnesses

All alone inside your busyhead

You're all alone inside your busyhead

You're all alone inside your busyhead

Your busyhead
