I feel like I'm half complete
Trying to find my place in the sun and run and I run and I run but I can't compete
My friends say I'm fine but I'm fraying at the seams
And I just can't sleep
My nightmares I keep through the day and they won't go away
And I taste defeat

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm
I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm

As the morning begins
I begin to pack my things
I get my knickers in a twist and I wish and I wish for a short back and sides and a shirt and a tie
So I can fit in
Put some wind in my sails but I just can't breathe
To young to feel this old and old enough know the weight I'm carrying

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm
I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm trying, so hard, I'm

Nothing else left to do
Retreat into a fighting stance and I dance and I dance and I dance in these dead girls shoes
I can feel these troubled soles pulling me to the floor
And they just want more
With so much to lose
Hope went and died
A hearse by his side
2 Gold coins in his eyes

Obsessed restless mind
I wish I knew the right way to fill out my time
But I let the alcohol flow and I put on a show but you know

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so hard

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying so
