"Headcase" lyrics

"Headcase"

It's a fragile state of mind
Like I'm losing sense of time
And the world is moving on, while I am left behind
It's a never-ending wait
For a sign to change my fate
Like I'll never reach the end of this forsaken chase

So don't tell me there's no, no reason why
There's no, no finish line
No journey I'll enjoy along the way
My feet stuck in the sand
My heart left in my hand
These symptoms taking hold won't go away

They say that I'm a classic headcase
Diagnosed with terminal velocity
Just can't escape
'Cause I'm uninsured
I'm a classic headcase
A victim of the world's relentless apathy
Bound to my fate
And I can't be cured

It's the stars I don't wish on (Wish on)
It's the way I don't move on (Move on)
And the constant thought that one day we will all be gone
It's the fleetingness of life (Mmm)
Burning time and wasting nights (Mmm)
Like I'm balanced on the edge, then plunging from the heights

So don't tell me there's no, no reason why
There's no, no finish line
No journey I'll enjoy along the way
My feet stuck in the sand
My heart left in my hand
These symptoms taking hold won't go away

They say that I'm a classic headcase
Diagnosed with terminal velocity
Just can't escape
'Cause I'm uninsured
I'm a classic headcase
A victim of the world's relentless apathy
Bound to my fate
And I can't be cured

And, oh, I'm running in the same place (Oh, ooh-ooh, woah)
Going nowhere too fast (Oh, ooh, woah)
And, oh, I'm burning 'neath the surface (Oh)
And I know this won't last

They say that I'm a classic headcase
Diagnosed with terminal velocity
Just can't escape
'Cause I'm uninsured
I'm a classic headcase (Classic headcase)
A victim of the world's relentless apathy
Bound to my fate
And I can't be cured
