I sit and I watch the clock I picture you on the rocks I'm erasing your trace A new coat of paint, a new set of laws A new mattress, the same old bitter thoughts Thought I could fill the void But if I'm being honest with myself Nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise And maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Nothing ever changes And now I'm just laying in bed Reading books I've already read Play guitar Oh, I'm learning to shred But it's too hard on strong chords Instead, like it would fill the void But if I'm being honest with myself Nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes Thought I could just crank up the noise And maybe it would drown it out But nothing ever changes No, nothing ever changes I sit and I watch the clock I picture you on the rocks I'm erasing your trace A new coat of paint, a new set of laws A new mattress, the same old bitter thoughts And even if the wait is long And all the words are wrong Put the recorder on And I'll begin again I just need a quiet wall Some books and alcohol To get me through the night Then I'll begin again Nothing ever changes I'll get through the night Then I'll begin again Nothing ever changes I'll get through the night Then I'll begin again
