she tolerates me
but i know she hates me
because everyday
i get the coldest shoulders thrown my way
but she can't see me
she looks right through me
and nothing that i say
can find a place inside her heart
her mind is made up
and that's all she wrote
but now i can't stop writing
because she's always on my mind
and i can't make it
make any sense on paper
so i'll be up all night
searching for the perfect line
yeah, i annoy you
but i can't avoid you
i try to be anybody but myself
i get defensive
it's unattractive
you're unamused
with my attempts at redemption
'cause your mind is made up
and that's all she wrote
but now i can't stop writing
because you're always on my mind
and i can't make it
make any sense on paper
so i'll be up all night
searching for the perfect line
the perfect line to change your mind
the perfect line to make you mine

existential crisis in the checkout line
nuclear meltdown
mental fallout in the candy aisle
artificial lifestyle in the marketplace
pharmacy fantasy
unleash the soda jerk in me
are you here when i'm not there?
are you everywhere at once?
well, you're nowhere to be found
when i come around
selling salvation in the parking lot
beggars & choosers
use it up until there's nothing left
doctor's excuses
and prescriptions written out
sugar-coated tablets
ordered up and used as directed
will you be here when i wake?
will you call me by my name?
well, you're nowhere to be found
gone without a sound

yesterday i found myself
right back where i started from
but that's okay...
i got a second chance
will i do it right this time
knowing what i know now?
no i don't think so
i'll take it all again
so, if the times are changing
then so must be the spaces
future retro!
in a mental renaissance
my spirit comes to life
future retro!
tomorrow i see myself
stepping out into the light
and i'm alright...
i got a second chance
will i finally find the truth
somewhere between space & time?
before you know
the past is catching up
so, if their minds are changing
then so must be their faces
future retro!
in a mental renaissance
my spirit born again
future retro!
and i ran...
right round, baby
right round
'cause sometimes i feel
i've got to run away
to get away from the pain
