Intermission

[Verse 1]
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
My mind is full but I can't speak
Among the dust of the hard-to-reach, I'm stuck
Right here, somewhere between side A and side B

[Refrain]
I could call it compromise
Or just an intermission
Some kind of consolation prize
For the race I never finished

[Verse 2]
I wanna turn these tired gears
I wanna feel the follow-through
Some kind of equilibrium
Something to set my watch to

[Verse 3]
I'm here, somewhere between
Victory and a white flag
Caught in this purgatory dream
I'm stuck

[Verse 4]
I wanna set the record straight
I wanna retrace my every step
If I could just rewind all the tapes
Then maybe I'd find my loose thread

[Refrain]
Call it a compromise
Or just an intermission
Some kind of consolation prize
So close, but never finished

[Verse 5]
I wanna turn these tired gears
I wanna feel the follow-through
Some kind of equilibrium
Something to set my watch to
