Ebb & Flow

[Verse 1]
This is the sound of my lungs giving up
When I've sung more than enough
Now I can't sing
This is something that I could do without
But I'm too far away now
I'll never make it back

[Verse 2]
My soul's being sold in every note I hold
When the playback drones I just recoil
No these are not the only notes I know
They're my only hope of singing this song

[Chorus]
It's why I look so tired
And I've gone so quiet
I try not to show
I'm pale as a ghost
And it's why I'm uninspired
And I've lost insight
Why I'm high and I'm low
I'm ebb and I'm flow

[Bridge]
Bite the hand that feeds you, you reap what you sow
You'll only be a winner in an auction for my soul
When god gave out virtues you politely held the door
Chase your dreams on a rodent wheel, you'll only hit a wall

[Chorus]
It's why I look so tired
And I've gone so quiet
I try not to show
I'm pale as a ghost
And it's why I'm uninspired
And I've lost insight
Why I'm high and I'm low
I'm ebb and I'm flow
