Nine Words

Indifference is taking me out of it
Taking me out of that
Common sense is taking is out again
Skipping me over

I'm beginning
I'm starting me up again
Starting me up again

Common threads
Are standin' me up, man
Choppin' me over

It hit you like a bus when
Her message drove across your forehead
That you were on your own, now
At least that's what the note said

Man, manned your boat,
Some died, damn
Nine words, besides they chose it
But you don't measure up now
Maybe you never did

Maybe you never did

Malevolence
Slips through the cracks again
Stabbin' my back again
Irrelevance,
It tries to greet you,
Making me see through

I'm beginning
To thinking there might have been
Some part of the problem
And common sense
Sails my boat again
It's bottling out again

It hit you like a bus when
Her message drove across your forehead
That you were on your own now
At least that's what the note said

Man, manned your boat,
Some died, damn
Nine words, besides they chose it
But you don't measure up now
Maybe you never did
