Along the way to close my eyes

I lost where I was going

the more it will spin

the more that I try

to stop my mind flowing away, away

to all that I despise

along the way to close my eyes



You can't be let down if you don't expect the world

expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl

if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell

cursed consciousness is your private hell



Along the way to close my eyes

I lost where I was going

the more it will spin

the more that I try

to stop my mind flowing away, away

to all that I despise

along the way to close my eyes



Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind

endlessly replaying times that were unkind

go away sun I'm not prepared for you today

it seems you are, it seems you are, huh!



Along the way to close my eyes

I lost where I was going

the more it will spin

the more that I try

to stop my mind flowing away, away

to all that I despise

along the way to close my eyes
