Bells

[Verse 1]
Like a potted plant
Too big for its home
I'll take what I'm given
But I won't make any growth
I am perfectly still
Hurtling through time
Wilted on the sill
Waiting for these bells to chime

[Chorus]
You should know better
With all that you've seen
Everybody thinks that
It never happened to me
Tried to stop the train but it wasn't enough
So I wrote all these songs but it wasn't enough
Scowling in my deathbed
Because it wasn't ever enough

[Verse 2]
My growing neuroses
My dwindling friends
I can't see the futurе
But I know how it ends
Days rushing by you
Like leavеs in the fall
And while the world's fading to black
You couldn't make time to call?

[Chorus]
I should know better
Who I'd turn into
No one ever thinks that
It'll happen to you
Held your frail hands but it wasn't enough
May as well stop the sun but it wasn't enough
Scowling at me in my dreams
Because it wasn't ever enough

[Outro]
My growing neuroses
My dwindling friends
I can't see the future
We all know how it ends
