Intermission

[Verse 1]

I'm so tired but I can't sleep

My mind is full but I can't speak

Among the dust of the hard-to-reach, I'm stuck

Right here, somewhere between side A and side B

[Refrain]

I could call it compromise

Or just an intermission

Some kind of consolation prize

For the race I never finished

[Verse 2]

I wanna turn these tired gears

I wanna feel the follow-through

Some kind of equilibrium

Something to set my watch to

[Verse 3]

I'm here, somewhere between

Victory and a white flag

Caught in this purgatory dream

I'm stuck

[Verse 4]

I wanna set the record straight

I wanna retrace my every step

If I could just rewind all the tapes

Then maybe I'd find my loose thread

[Refrain]

Call it a compromise

Or just an intermission

Some kind of consolation prize

So close, but never finished

[Verse 5]

I wanna turn these tired gears

I wanna feel the follow-through

Some kind of equilibrium

Something to set my watch to
