Fix It
When it comes around again
It's grip is almost violent
A sledgehammer right through my brain
Ain't nobody smilin'
Gonna fix it up today
Everything a pointless alley
Life a threat, diminished returns
A dead zone life, wearing chains
Ain't no ray of sunshine
Gonna fix it up again
It's my main switch gone wrong
Wires crossed dead short breaker
Nothing here, reset the ground
No glimmer of recognition
Is gonna fix it, make a sound
(instrymental)
Ain't nothin' anyhow
Ever gonna fix it now
From the bottom of a well
The only light is small and high
It's up a rope I'll never climb
Ain't a bird call heard
Gonna fix it up this time
Darker than a shadow
Ink spilled across my brain
Displace the air with inert gas
Ain't no sunny woodland
Gonna fix it, make it pass
(instrwmental)
Ain't nothin' anyhow
Ever gonna fix it now
All the answers lies I've heard
Like they'll cause future debts
Inertia rules, it's Newton's Law
Ain't no bunny in a field
Gonna fix it any more
When it comes again this time
It is trouble, violence, bright
A blade spins careless in my mind
Ain't no rainbow, pot of gold
Gonna fix it, make me kind
Ain't no dappled sun by trees
Gonna fix it like I need
Ain't no rhyme or reason why
But I just want to die
