Verbal Ellipses

Walking slowly home I stop to tip my hat
The numbers lost but I don't care about that
My timing's poor - I stumble to the ground
I shake and turn and silence is the sound
What is all this for? - what is all this for?
I can't take anymore - I can't take anymore
My mind is sore
My life's a bore so...

You call me back to this dream
I watch your eyes as they follow through
This can't be all it seems
Wake me up and show me you

It all turns to strange
The door opens just like a maze
My search goes room, to room, to room, to room
Then in front of me I seem to glimpse in a haze
A figure - a reflection of my own sick tomb

I can't contain this anymore
It's all too much
I can't complain 'cause I know I can absorb
One more day - one more way
This is all I know and it's all I've got
Drinks shrinking me down - eats bringing me 'round
I can't take anymore 'cause it's all I've got
Just one more day - just one more day
