Tried To Fall In Love (My Head Got In The Way)

Tried to watch the band but my head got in the way

Picking them apart while they cosplay across the stage

Where was the fire?

Where was the urgency, the life?

The wolf at the doorstep?

The raging against the dying light?

I tried to watch the band but I couldn't

Try to wash my hands but I can't get past my face

Staring through myself while the truck stop melts away

Who was the stranger

Moving around inside my life?

Could he account for

The blankness that blanketed my eyes?

Tried to wash my hands but I couldn't get past my face

What was the answer?

Where was the pin to pick the lock?

Why was I waiting?

When would I finally wake up?

I tried to fall in love but I couldn't get past my pain

I tried to fall in love but my head got in the way

(Hard to hold when the hole is at the center

Grows and grows and it's never getting better)
