Crosseyed and Painless Lyrics[Verse 1]
Lost my shape, trying to act casual
Can't stop, I might end up in the hospital
Changing my shape, I feel like an accident
They're back to explain their experience

[Chorus 1]
Isn't it weird? Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away, that was their policy

[Verse 2]
I'm ready to leave, I push the facts in front of me
Facts lost, facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there, no information left of any kind
Li-lifting my head, lo-lo-looking for the danger signs
[Chorus 2]
There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us
There was a line, there was a formula
Sharp as a knife, facts cut a hole in us

[Bridge]
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting

[Chorus 3]
The feeling returns whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head, looking around inside

[Verse 3]
The Island of Doubt, it's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight, got the message from the oxygen
M-m-making a list, find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right, facts are useful in emergencies
[Chorus 3]
The feeling returns whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head, looking around inside

[Verse 4]
Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts don't come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

[Outro]
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I-I-I'm still waiting6
