[Chorus: Nick Hexum, S.A. Martinez, Both]
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin, the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing away, away
To all that I despise
(I despise)
Along the way to close my eyes
(To close my eyes)

[Verse 1: Nick Hexum]
You can’t be let down if you don’t expect the world
Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl
If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
Cursed consciousness, it’s your private hell

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, S.A. Martinez, Both]
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin, the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing away, away
To all that I despise
(I despise)
Along the way to close my eyes
(To close my eyes)
[Verse 2: Nick Hexum]
Tick, tick, tick, the clock bludgeons your mind
Endlessly replaying times that were unkind
Go away sun, I’m not prepared for you today
It seems you are, it seems you are

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, S.A. Martinez, Both]
(Huh!)
Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
The more it will spin, the more that I try
To stop my mind flowing away, away
To all that I despise
(I despise)
Along the way to close my eyes
(To close my eyes)
