"Nothing Changes"

I sit and I watch the clock
I picture you on the rocks
I'm erasing your trace, a new coat of paint
A new set of locks
A new mattress, the same old bitter thoughts

[Chorus:]
Thought I could fill the void
But if I'm being honest with myself
Nothing ever changes
No, nothing ever changes
Thought I could just crank up the noise
And maybe it would drown it out
But nothing ever changes
No, nothing ever changes (Ever changes)

And now I just stay in bed
Reading books I've already read
Play guitar
While I'm learning to shred
But it's too hard, I'll strum chords instead

[Chorus:]
Like it would fill the void
But if I'm being honest with myself
Nothing ever changes
No, nothing ever changes
Thought I could just crank up the noise
And maybe it would drown it out
But nothing ever changes
No, nothing ever changes

[Bridge:]
(Nothing) I sit and watch the clock
(Ever changes) I picture you on the rocks
(Nothing) Erase the trace, a new coat of paint
A new set of locks (Ever changes)
A new mattress, but the same old bitter thoughts

[Breakdown:]
And even if the wait is long
And all the words are wrong
Put the recorder on and I'll begin again
I just need a quiet lull
Some books and alcohol
To get me through the night, then I'll begin again

[Outro:]
Nothing (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ever changes (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Nothing (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ever changes (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
