Whatever makes you tired the resting always fails
'Cos anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails
Whatever you exhale I breathe it in the end
You offer me a seat in your electric chair

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So clue me in

Every day you ask yourself, "Why was I born?"
'Cos every migrane feels like wearing a crown of thorns
And all the time I find you crawling on all fours
'Cos any movement sends you falling through trap doors

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So clue me in

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So clue me in

No tongue in cheek
To late it's already days and weeks
Before we can make ends meet
Am I right and you're wrong?
Too late it already takes too long
Too much to be flushed with you
Oh
Too much to be flushed with you

Whatever makes you tired the resting always fails
'Cos anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So clue me in

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So clue me in
You know better than I do
So clue me in
You know better than I do
So clue me in

    Oh my god, first comment :) before I got the sack I used to listen to this song everyday, and it reminded me of how sucky my job was but it helped knowing that someone else out there wasn't happy with their life. "Whatever makes you tired the resting always fails" was THE definition of my crappy job lol.

    I think this song is about a guy who can't do anything right and constantly finds himself in unhappy situations and he is questioning the purpose of his life...bummer!
