Lyrics

I almost caught a quiet ghost sleeping sound
In the forest by the waste land
Running gaining ground slow in a cloud
With a vulture hiding quicksand

I heard him calling through cold winter pine
Off Michigan's lakeshore
Creeping like a fox vine outta time
Under steeple stained glass doors

Dissociated sinking in Chicago haze
Waiting on the tides to change

Busy head
Wake me when I'm dead
Thinkin' of everything I could have said
Hurry wait
Drift by and float away
In the darkest hour I'll find my escape

Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head lost in a daze
Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head

Daydreaming of a westbound summer train
Going anywhere I've never been, start again
Sleepwalking under heavy rain, I'm insane
Thinkin' I need a weather vane

Feelin' like a stone thrown in a storm
Like I might beat gravity, I believe
Origami chrysalis and change form
To a raven flying over seas

Dissociated serotonin sinking waves
Waiting on my mind to change

Busy head
Wake me when I'm dead
Thinkin' of everything I could have said
Hurry wait
Drift by and float away
In the darkest hour I'll find my escape

Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head lost in a daze
Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head lost in a daze

Hundred years in my head
Down every path with long lost friends
I lie awake in my bed
A quiet ghost of who I've been

Worry stones in my dreams
Like castle walls surrounding me
I'm safe and sound from garden thieves
And quiet ghosts haunting me

Dissociated I don't need to think and pray
Waiting on the world to change

Busy head
Wake me when I'm dead
Thinkin' of everything I could have said
Hurry wait
Drift by and float away
In the darkest hour I'll find my escape

Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head lost in a daze
Busy head wake me when I'm dead
Busy head lost in a daze
