lyrics

Yeah I know its difficult
Thirty sheets of paper crumpled on the floor it's pitiful
I'm not trying to be cynical
But showing no progress after a week, yeah, it's criminal
You know this yeah it's your fuel
You channel your frustration into the formation of a tool
But sometimes that won't do it
You had your chance and now you blew it
Now whatever you do don't seem to fit

Trying to write
Trying to fight the urge to back down yeah it'll all be alright

You say it in your head
But feel the dread instead
You're thinkin about it over and over while you're in your bed

Cause I'm blocked
From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout

Yeah, uh, I'm sitting on the words
It's like I have a curse
Cause no matter how much I want it I can't seem to find the nerve
To tell you how I feel
To tell how it's real
Cause every time I open up my mouth the words are sealed
It's on the tip of my tongue
Swaying in front of my face it's hung
And now the bells have rung
We're all alone and it's time
I can't let this opportunity escape while you're mine
You look into my eyes
And suddenly, no lie, I lose my grip on the words even though I try
The words vanish without a trace
All that's left is an empty space
Yeah, it's the right time and place
I want to say it to your face
But I can't open my mouth
It's blocked

From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout

Piano solo

Cause I'm blocked
From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout
