Million Days In May

A million days in May

So hard to concentrate

So hard to hear the ocean

They've got that confidence

I swear it's monstrous

I can smell 'em when they're swollen

I just can't promise it

I try to live with it

Everything I know is corroded

It's just a constant push

I can't do it but I know I should

Talking with my teeth clenched



So tired I can hardly stand

Don't know what to make of it

Just would like to freeze awhile

If you wake me when it's done

I won't tell anyone

You won't even detect a smile

I got a million lies

To sew up those alibis

No diatribes here

I'm whistling in the dark

For tonight there are no stars

Maybe I'm just scared of being



Now I'm stitching up those wounds

Just trying to tie my shoes

I could hurt you past believing

We may have been friends once

But now that much is crushed

Everything I know is corroded

Million days in May

So hard to concentrate

So hard to hear the ocean
