Strum
D-DU-UDU
There  must be something that keeps  me awake,
 Or some  kind of pill  I can take,
 To break  these bad habits.
 I would lie  if I said that this didn't  get tough,
 Two left feet  on the floor  in a Waltz,
 At an odd  tempo.
 Am I stuck  at the ankle,  or caught  at the knee?
 A curious puzzle  still cursing me
 To follow  or lead.
 You gave  me a heart and then taught  me to hurt.
 I can't tell  just which option  is worse,
 Dying pure  or aware.
 So these feet  keep on tripping in triplets  to beats
 Too far off  for my ears  to reach,
 Just a hint  of timing.
 Am I stuck  at the ankle,  or caught  at the knee?
 A curious puzzle  still cursing me,
 To follow  or lead.
And  I don't  know where  I'm going,
Cause  I can't  see the road,  oh it's winding,
 Just as long  as I keep breathing,
 I've got  this uncomfortable feeling,
 Heavy feet,  shaky hands,  troubled hall.
