black clouds hang over you like anvils on a string they follow you everywhere so don t stand so close to me they gather while you re sleeping and wait above your bed and when you open up your eyes they strap themselves fast to your head dreamed through another starless night awakened by the gloom this morning i keep myself buttoned tight these storms come without warning there seems to be no end in sight this shit could last forever i ve been through this before there s no predicting weather you will find your way around whatever s got you down whatever s got you down the lines across your brow tell me the entire story i won t be listening while you go on about your fears and worries dreamed through another starless night awakened by the gloom this morning i keep myself buttoned tight these storms come without warning there seems to be no end in sight this shit could last forever i ve been through this before there s no predicting weather you will find your way around whatever s got you down whatever s got you down you blow into the room i pour myself some shelter i know the storm is coming soon i m sensitive to changes in pressure i spent another sleepless night on your couch tossing and turning sometimes i don t know why i try i think my neck is broken there seems to be no end in sight this shit could last forever i ve been through this before there s no predicting weather you will find your way around whatever s got you down whatever s got you down can you find your way around whatever s got you down you re bringing us all down
