Another evening spent In the corners of my brain Where I wander off into the dark And I close my eyes and hope The wolves won't follow me But hope's hard of hearing So I'm waiting for the teeth I had to learn that the helping hand Can be the same that holds the knife I know I'm not well but I'm alright You gotta learn how to take your hits When your hands are always tied I know I'm not well but I'm alright I memorize the ceiling With a fire at my feet While I give myself advice that I can't keep I no longer ask myself What any of this means I just want my mind to quit So I can finally fall asleep Yeah I'm just waiting for my mind to quit So I can finally fall asleep I kept falling for the broken wing Because I couldn't pick the flight But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't bite I can't tell you if it got this way Or if it started as a lie I know I'm not well but I'm alright I kept falling for the broken wing Because I couldn't pick the flight But don't believe 'em when they tell ya that the bird won't I had to learn that the helping hand Can be the same that holds the knife I know I'm not well but I'm alright (I know I'm not well but I'm alright)
