Nothing Changes

I sit, and I watch the clock I picture you on the rocks I'm erasing your trace, a new coat of paint, a new set of locks A new mattress, the same old bitter thoughts

Thought I could fill the void, but if I'm being honest with myself Nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes

Nothing ever changes

And now I just stay in bed Reading books I've already read Playing guitar Well, I'm learning to shred But it's too hard, I strum chords instead

Like it would fill the void, but if I'm being honest with myself Nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes

(Nothing) I sit and I watch the clock (Ever changes) I picture you on the rocks (Nothing) erasing your trace, a new coat of paint, a new set of locks (Ever changes) a new mattress, but the same old bitter thoughts

And even if the wait is long And all the words are wrong Put the recorder on, and I'll begin again I just need a quiet lull Some books and alcohol To get me through the night, and I'll begin again

Nothing ever changes I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again Nothing ever changes Yeah, I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
