Now it's here and it's warm and bright

I can't sleep I worry through the night

When I see up the curtains high

I can't feel what used to drill my head
C Am Em
But the drilling will return I dread

Curse the days when a smile insists

Better off just staying stuck when things are always looking up

When the sun illuminates, you'll find me in the darkest place
