Exhausted - Joseph Arthur

I never sleep

I been awake for what feels like a year

'cause when I dream

My mind puts a face

To each one of my fears

I’m exhausted by my imagination

I close my eyes

But I could still see the pain on your face

It’s your disguise

You put your heart and soul on a plate

I’m exhausted by my imagination

The walls are bleeding cause I’m hallucinating

Beneath the wheel I cannot slow it’s rotation down

I got to get away from here

But there’s nowhere I can go

Everyone I recognize looks at me like I am lost

Walking down these dire streets

I thought I heard you call my name

But it’s only in my head

Or maybe it was just your ghost

Up in the sky

The clouds are dirty so soon it will rain

I lost my mind

After you told me that you went insane

I’m a victim of my imagination

These walls are talking but I’m hallucinating

Beneath the wheel that will not slow it’s rotation down

Down

Down in my head (?)

I got to get away from here

But there’s nowhere I can go

Everyone I recognize

Looks at me like I’m a ghost

Walking down these dying streets

I thought I heard you call my name

But it was only in my mind

You were never there at all
