Splintering scales, deep in the skin Don't know if the problem's without or within I'm freaking out, can't get a grip Don't know if I've suffered enough to give in I've come to believe that I'll never win I don't have to like it but it is what it is Leave me alone, I'm on the phone The older I get the more I know what I don't Missing the mark, cry in the dark And just like my namesake, I'm building the ark And it might float, but I'll never win God ain't talking, but he speaks from within Wake up at noon, won't die in this room Blaming all my problems on the man in the moon Speaking my fears but closing my ears And just like my namesake, I'm hoping he hears me It might work, but I'll never win Just give me a sign, know you're listening And I believe that a power greater than me Could lead me to the shores of the island of sanity But I'm still at sea Two by two, I'll be the best me that I can be Splintering scales, deep in the skin Don't know if the problem's without or within I'm freaking out, no I can't get a grip God I know I've suffered enough to give in
