Pilot Lyrics

Deep inside my mind, there is this thought that tries to hide

It succeeds most of the time but shows itself when I'm lying

In my bed up late at night when I can't sleep but I won't rise

To capture what I'm hearing in my head so I just lie

And tell myself that I'll remember in the morning but oh my

Resistance just grows stronger each time I refuse to try

But tonight I felt it coming so I told the wife goodnight

Grabbed a notebook and a pencil and I waited for a sign

Six hours at it now

And I'm fading fast

I think I just found the hook

I hear it now but I'm tired and I'm trying to recite

But will it come right back when I wake?

Plus this tune won't be my last I tell myself as I drift off

Tomorrow is a brand new opportunity to cheat myself

So I'll get up and work from nine to four or ten to five

Be an adequate, compliant, cheerful, corporate guy

Then perhaps a sign will come to me as I wrap up with work

And I'll have the time and space I need to jot down and record

Okay I was mainly joshing, I don't think I stand a chance

But I heard that optimism helps us fight the resistance

Six hours at it now

And we're starting to drag

Oh brother here comes the hook

Well I had it then it was fine

Now I'm trying to revive

But will it come right back on this take?

Six years at it now

And there's no turning back

Oh Mother this is the hook

You hear it now though it's late

And you're wasted but maybe

It'll stick with you when you're

Gone, gone, gone

It'll stick with you when you're gone
