One moment I’m thankful, the next ungrateful
I can’t stop listening if my neighbor is fucking
Who’s got the keys? Who’s in the driver’s seat?
Cause this ain’t the route I chose to go get me up off this street
Driven by impulse, haunted by shame
Ear to the wall, in the closet I came
Well I tried, but the voices had left
So I stood there with my pants down, I must have gone deaf
Every night it’s the same routine
The noises verberate, I’m imagining things
The blood begins to pump, you know the places to check
Attentive, focused, but all I hear is my breath
Give it a rest, and get back to work
No results for over a fucking year
So much time just dumped down the drain
In pursuit of abnormal behaviors taken over my brain
I used to be annoyed when an opening would appear
And the passion between two bodies penetrated my ear
But then I came to my senses
Put the focus up on came, that’s where the emphasis is
I would come home at night
Dark room, window open, the conditions were right
I would go about my business, ear to the wind
Fingers crossed, steady listen, hoping to hit
But it didn’t, it must be hell I live in
Cause I squandered 2 hours on someone else’s television
Yes, it’s an addiction
This behavior is taking way more than it is giving
Yet I give in, I’m too weak to resist
I’ve got a little help but the problem persists
It’s all good though, I know I can do it
I just got to find a reason or pursue a solution
