sinking

Alexi Murdoch

Sitting quietly watching the ticking on the wall
She sits patiently, she thinks maybe the world will fall
She says, ââ?¬Å?I feel at times like I had it and lost it allââ?¬
But there are walls are in her eyes

Waiting, she says, is the hardest thing to do
You donââ?¬â?¢t feel like somebody else and you donââ?¬â?¢t feel like you
Sometimes the light around me has the strangest hue
And I wonder what Iââ?¬â?¢m going through

And sheââ?¬â?¢s on fire, and her whole world is burning
Yeah, sheââ?¬â?¢s on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning
She says, ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢m so full of doubt, I donââ?¬â?¢t know if Iââ?¬â?¢ll ever find a way out
Feels like something I read in a book somewhere
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking, you know Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking
Iââ?¬â?¢ve thought myself into the ground, Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking
That Iââ?¬â?¢m sinking.ââ?¬

(Here we go)

Lonely I take through and my mind begins to soar (?)
She talked to anyone, so itââ?¬â?¢s anyone she told
Thereââ?¬â?¢s an empty chair at the end of an empty hall
And she feels small

Faces smile, sheââ?¬â?¢s moving through a crowd
The sun is shining but itââ?¬â?¢s hiding a cloud
She laughs from time to time but she feels a little loud
And she would cry but sheââ?¬â?¢s too proud

And sheââ?¬â?¢s on fire and her whole world is burning
Yeah, sheââ?¬â?¢s on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turning
She says, ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢m so full of doubt, I donââ?¬â?¢t know if Iââ?¬â?¢ll ever find a way out
Feels like something I read in a book somewhere
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking, you know Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking
Iââ?¬â?¢ve thought myself into the ground, Iââ?¬â?¢ve been thinking
That Iââ?¬â?¢m sinking.ââ?¬


And you want to tell her that sheââ?¬â?¢s gonna be fine
And you want to tell her that the light hurts when youââ?¬â?¢ve been blind
She says ââ?¬Å?all I see stretching out before me is timeââ?¬
She says, ââ?¬Å?All I see stretching out before me is timeââ?¬
Oh, and you want to tell her that sheââ?¬â?¢s gonna be fine
Oh, woman, youââ?¬â?¢re drinking your sorrows like wine, now
Ohhh, woman, donââ?¬â?¢t you know that youââ?¬â?¢re going to be fine?
Donââ?¬â?¢t you know that youââ?¬â?¢re going to be fine?
