Splintering scales, deep in the skin

Don't know if the problem's without or within

I'm freaking out, can't get a grip

Don't know if I've suffered enough to give in

I've come to believe that I'll never win

I don't have to like it but it is what it is

Leave me alone, I'm on the phone

The older I get the more I know what I don't

Missing the mark, cry in the dark

And just like my namesake, I'm building the ark

And it might float, but I'll never win

God ain't talking, but he speaks from within

Wake up at noon, won't die in this room

Blaming all my problems on the man in the moon

Speaking my fears but closing my ears

And just like my namesake, I'm hoping he hears me

It might work, but I'll never win

Just give me a sign, know you're listening

And I believe that a power greater than me

Could lead me to the shores of the island of sanity

But I'm still at sea

Two by two, I'll be the best me that I can be

Splintering scales, deep in the skin

Don't know if the problem's without or within

I'm freaking out, no I can't get a grip

God I know I've suffered enough to give in
