lyrics

I used to think that I would be
an astronaut or better
the scientist that made this global system
finally work, but alas..
I just turned out to be a mess

So I've had enough, I'm heading off, I'm setting sail
to leave the mornings to the brave
and trust on nights to give my insanity a name

I hear his call from above,
it's tugging at my sleep
demanding explanations
more than I now see

He dances 'til the morning light
a grin divides his face
and his gaze locks into mine
I'm feeling restless in this place
(this place is driving me insane)

The thought has crossed my mind to give up on the chase
(this place is dragging me straight to the ground)
but you can't have losers if we're all supposed to win
if you say none of us are left
then why are we all still struggling

I used to think that I would be
some kind of bloody scientist
the kind that would make this world
a better place to live
but I've got nothing left to give

The thought has crossed my mind to give up on the chase
but you can't have losers if we're all supposed to win
I don't need a medal of participation
to remind me who I am

I hear his call, I hear him calling out your name
I see his face, the reason I haven't slept in days
and as his gaze locks on to mine
I think I'm running out of time
and I feel restless
I'm feeling restless in this place
