PATRICK JOSEPH

Untangled
Counting hours one by one,
So long as you're having fun
While you're standing in line
Just waiting for your turn
I've forgotten my own name, was it loud or just mundane
Could you read it to me, is it easy to be learned

Won't you say it out loud?

This whole wide world got me tied down and strangled
I was stuck down in a hole, and I feel I was about to lose control
But you came down and got me untangled

Broken, beaten, tired, upset
And burnt like a cigarette
Was it lonely for you
Just waiting for your time?
Bending in and out of tune, and burst like a big balloon
Couldn't take anymore, no reason to the rhyme

I was chained to the floor

This whole wide world got me tied down and strangled
I was stuck down in a hole, and I feel I was about to lose control
But you came down and got me untangled

I was wearing down, I was wearing out,
I was wearing down beyond all doubt
