lyrics

I look back with dark glasses on my mind and my
Telepathy’s locked on send
The more I keep myself to myself
The easier I can be read
I’ve always tried too hard to relax
And run too fast to stay in place
I never realized I was getting nowhere
Until I stopped trying to keep pace

Prevention, better than cure
Prevention, better than cure
But I’ve grown to like the disease

I thought the spell was broken, now I’m not so sure
But I haven’t had the dream for months
Once I was falling out of control, now at
Least I know where I’ll touch down
How much deeper do I have to go
Before I reach the light
Searching for a tree by a waterfall but I’m
Too scared to open my eyes

Prevention, better than cure
Prevention, better than cure
But I’ve grown to like the disease

Prevention, better than cure
Prevention, better than cure
But I’ve grown to like the disease

I can make zero equal everything and I see
Never last for all time
It’s really all just a matter of scale and I’m
Told she’s got plenty of them
The past is just a jigsaw where the pieces don’t fit
And the future’s nowhere to be seen
But will I love the hand that’s holding the pen or the
Hand behind the machine
