I feel like I'm half complete
Trying to find my place in the sun and run
and I run and I run but I can't compete
My friends say I'm fine but I'm fraying at the seams
and I just can't sleep
My nightmares I keep through the day and they won't go away
And I taste defeat

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
but I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm [2x]

As the morning begins
I begin to pack my things
I get my knickers in a twist and I wish
and I wish for a short back and sides and a shirt and a tie
So I can fit in
put some wind in my sails but I just can't breathe
to young to feel this old and old enough know the weight I'm carrying

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
but I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm [2x]

Nothing else left to do
retreat into a fighting stance and I dance
and I dance and I dance in these dead girls shoes
I can feel these troubled soles pulling me to the floor
and they just want more
with so much to lose
hope went and died
a hearse by his side
2 gold coins in his eyes

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
but I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard [7x]
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so
