Amnesiac
[Verse 1]
I can't think of anything I did or was doing
I can't seem to get a hold on what's come to pass
Here with half a mind on something else
And half a finger in the glass
Since you ask

[Verse 2]
I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be going:
In the end every journey's only pawing the ground
And I've half a mind just to jack it in
Oh but for this torn-off ticket stub I just found
Since you ask about the shape I'm in
I'll try my best to pull myself around

[Chorus]
Amnesiac if you say it's so;
Amnesiac what happened long ago?
Oh, now I just don't know

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I can't think of anyone that I'd rather be with
But I don't know why you should want to stick here with me
When I can't even find what was on my mind
For all the holes punched in my memory:
It's a wasteland, and I'm terrified
To admit, to let go, to accept I don't know
All those blanks won't be filled
I'll be found by the chill of the glacier run
Of what I might have done...
Since you last asked about the state I'm in
It seems I've lost all grip on where I'm coming from...
[Chorus]
Amnesiac does it so plainly show?
Amnesiac as if I didn't know
Amnesiac oh say it isn't so...
Amnesiac

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
