Lately
I've been tearing up a lot of paper
Lately
I've been at home just sitting around
Waiting
For my brain to tell me when to move
Maybe
Someone else will tell me what to do
When I look at the wall I can see myself
I look at the wall and see nothing
When I look at the wall I can see myself
I look at the wall and see
Staring
At the words written for the day
Staring
At an ink blotch on the page
Praying
For an unwelcome distraction
Anything
That keeps things from being the same
When I look at the paper I can see myself
I look at the pages and see nothing
When I look at the paper I can see myself
I look at the pages and see
Thinking
About the things I used to say
Thinking
About the risks I need to take
Lately
I've been tearing up a lot of paper
Lately
I've been at home just sitting around
