[Verse 1]
To mar my own smile
Is a facial incantation I'll perfect
To make like a child
Is a mental affirmation I'll project
You hear me grinding my teeth
The nightmare turbines spin me by surprise
Can't awake from my dreams
The looms inside my bedroom stitch my eyes

[Verse 2]
Getting lost in my sheets
Lately the light of day
Looking haunting to me
Getting lost in the streets
Maybe my right of way
Was the wrong day of week

[Chorus]
A long time wasted
'Til tomorrow I'll try
To shape trees into hallow canoes
'Til my face turns as blue as my eyes
A long time wasted
'Til tomorrow I'll try
To shape trees into hallow canoes
'Til my face turns as black as my eyes
