Alexi Murdoch: Sinking

Sitting quietly watching the ticking on the wallShe sits patiently, she thinks maybe the world will fallShe says, I feel at times like I had it and lost it allBut there are walls are in her eyesWaiting, she says, is the hardest thing to doYou dont feel like somebody else and you dont feel like youSometimes the light around me has the strangest hueAnd I wonder what Im going throughAnd shes on fire, and her whole world is burningYeah, shes on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turningShe says, Im so full of doubt, I dont know if Ill ever find a way outFeels like something I read in a book somewhereIve been thinking, you know Ive been thinkingIve thought myself into the ground, Ive been thinkingThat Im sinking.(Here we go)Lonely I take through and my mind begins to soar (?)She talked to anyone, so its anyone she toldTheres an empty chair at the end of an empty hallAnd she feels smallFaces smile, shes moving through a crowdThe sun is shining but its hiding a cloudShe laughs from time to time but she feels a little loudAnd she would cry but shes too proudAnd shes on fire and her whole world is burningYeah, shes on fire, and it feels like her whole world just keeps turningShe says, Im so full of doubt, I dont know if Ill ever find a way outFeels like something I read in a book somewhereIve been thinking, you know Ive been thinkingIve thought myself into the ground, Ive been thinkingThat Im sinking.And you want to tell her that shes gonna be fineAnd you want to tell her that the light hurts when youve been blindShe says all I see stretching out before me is timeShe says, All I see stretching out before me is timeOh, and you want to tell her that shes gonna be fineOh, woman, youre drinking your sorrows like wine, nowOhhh, woman, dont you know that youre going to be fine?Dont you know that youre going to be fine?
