Well, am I idle?
And do I only occupy myself?
Can I satisfy my aching mind
Inventing sorrow in these lines?
'Cause I don't have to feel like this.
When I'm in awe of everything,
I see myself in negative.
It could be simple, so serene
We could be more than this
Better the devil you just sink
Into your apathy.
Catastrophe's lying in wait
And I don't seem the same
(And I won't seize the day)
What is the life that you want to lead,
Just say carpe diem
It won't save you.
I'm on my own
(Please come back home)
You know I can't
(You know I know)
Please, tell me something new,
Or something boring and mundane
Like - how are you, and how's your day?
Look, you're going off again
(Don't be the monster in your bed,
The giant slumbers 'til it's dead)
Don't be the monster in your bed,
You are the nightmare in your head.
Better the devil you just sink
Into your apathy.
Catastrophe's lying in wait
And I don't seem the same
(And I won't seize the day)
What is the life that you want to lead?
Just say carpe diem,
It won't save you.
Circled inside my mind,
Locked within my head.
Spending too long inside,
I've spent too long in here.
Well, can I face this?
Can I face everything,
And break the circle that I made,
Break the circle that I made.
Has the circle come undone?
Have you already won?
Has the circle come undone?
Nobody's won.
(Nobody's won)
It's getting tiresome and irritating just presuming the morning will
Bring sunshine and rainbows and solve all of your problems for you.
Can't you just get up get and over it,
And tell yourself you really need to move beyond it.
The devil's back is turned but you sit and you stare
And do nothing. You can't change him. You won't change.
Better the devil you sink into your apathy
Better the devil you don't do anything
