Nothing Changes Lyrics

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 laws
A new mattress
The same old bitter thoughts

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

And now I just stay in bed
Reading books I've already read
Play guitar
While I burn into shreds
But it's too hard, I'll strum chords instead

Like it would fill the void but if I'm bеing honest with myself
Nothing evеr 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

I sit and watch the clock
I picture you on the rocks
Erase the trace
A new coat of paint
A new set of locks
A new mattress, but the same old bitter thoughts

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 and I'll begin again

I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
