Rhyme And Reason            
             
Oh well oh well so here we stand 
but we stand for nothing 
my heart calls to me in my sleep 
how can i turn to it 
'cause i'm all locked up in this 
dark place-- 
and i do not know i'm as good as dead 
my head aches-- 
warped and tied up i need to kill this pain 

my head won't leave my head alone 
and i don't believe it will 
until i'm dead and gone 
my head won't leave my head alone 
and i don't believe it will 
until i'm six feet under ground 

how long i'm tied up 
my mind in knots-- 
my stomach reels in concern for what i might do or 
what i've done 
it's got me living in fear 
well i know these voices must 
be my soul i've had my grave 
lying wired and shut and quiet in my grave 
leave me here 
leave it to me to waste here 
so young and here i am again 
talking to myself 
a tv blares 
oh man 
oh how i wish i didn't smoke 
or drink to reason with my head 
but sometimes this thick confusion 
grows until i cannot bear it all 
needle to the vein 
needle to the vein 
take this needle from my vein my fiend 
i said 
in my grave 
lying, lying cold in my grave 
the reason--my reason 
take my head off this terror 
the fearing won't come back 
i can't see my mind's all wiped clean 
the needle 
make my great escape 
i seem caught in time 
my head leaves me behind 
body fall cold 
and i have seen heaven
