Red Herring Lyrics

All your efforts mean nothing
when I'm out of my mind
All your efforts mean nothing
when I cower and decline
All your efforts mean nothing
when I cringe and rewind
The grimace surreptitiously
wanting to adore
The fortress so anxiously
a**aulted and explored

I stay the course, I walk the line
and if you would ask I'm fine
Here in the dark, I hold the light
and if you would ask I'm alright
I'm alright
Through an old oak frame
in a small dark room
where I have no name
The view from the floor
distorted by
the shattered décor
The grimace surreptitiously
wanting to adore
The fortress so anxiously
a**aulted and explored
Chorus

Stay to force your hand
but years from now
when I've made it through
The state of my mind
the anguish contained
will be turned on you

I will get mine, I will get mine
I will get it when it all comes back to you
I will get mine, I will get mine
I will get it when it all comes back to you
