I sit and I watch the clock I picture you on the rocks I'm erasing your trace A new coat of paint A new set of locks A new mattress The same old bitter thoughts Thought I could fill the void but if I'm being honest with myself Nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes And now I just stay in bed Reading books I've already read Play guitar While I'm learning to shred But it's too hard, I'll strum chords instead Like it would fill thе void but if I'm being honest with myself Nothing еver changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes I sit and watch the clock I picture you on the rocks Erase the trace A new coat of paint A new set of locks A new mattress, but the same old bitter thoughts And even if the wait is long And all the words are wrong Put the recorder on and I'll begin again I just need a quiet lull Some books and alcohol To get me through the night and I'll begin again I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
