lyrics

I’m in a state of confusion
A perfect oasis, illusion
The kind that gives you your wings
I’ve found a million excuses
In the attic that loosens
The tongues of the truth out of boxes that sing
Oh the songs that they sing

'Cause I still am stuck in this state
But I will find a way to escape
And I still am stuck in this state
This is mighty fine ice, don’t you think, that we skate
A mighty fine line, don’t you think that we skate

Weaving through lanes
Of this highway of my mind
The nerves, and the chemicals firing at will
Involuntary actions
I lose all connections
To the flights that I needed to find my way home

And I still am stuck in this state
But I will find a way to escape
And I still am stuck in this state
This is mighty fine ice, don’t you think, that we skate
A mighty fine line, don’t you think that we skate

I keep buying treadmills
Trying to run away
But no matter how many I line up I can’t escape
I keep buying windmills
To get a summer breeze
But it’s just ghosts that past through them and they whisper to me

And I still am stuck in this state
But I will find a way to escape
And I still am stuck in this state
This is mighty fine ice, don’t you think, that we skate
A mighty fine line, don’t you think that we skate
