Harry Jay Robinson - Sisyphus

Favours over signs, I know that I'm a burden
You're spending all your time with another person
I guess you didn't notice I'm alive, alive
I bet you wouldn't know if I'm alright, alright
I want to believe a pipe dream, anaesthetise me
Tonight pray my soul to keep divinely
When I wake, you don't need remind me
Of the unmarked ground that I leave behind me
Knocking on a dozen doors
My calling's so cold, everyone ignores
I see the pattern unfold in a hundred more
Wishing I was uninformed
The finger's twitching on my monkey paw
Living in a tug of war, one half gave up these dreams
The other just must be seen, screams 'love me please'
Come hell or high water to flood these streets
It puts nothing above these needs
Until I'm totally reclined
Staring at an open empty sky
Without a sober peace of mind only hoping it's the time
That the infinite will notice I'm alive
I'll be in the dark
Making wishes to the stars
That we'll soon be alright
Do I know they're alive?
I want to believe it ever did, the sweetest sedative
Tonight pray my sleep defeats the pessimist
When I wake, you don't need to be my therapist
You need to stand me on my feet and tell me get a grip
I never wanted or wished to just sit and rot
Can't pretend I'm indifferent when I'm not
I never wanted the impotence and the sloth
It's necessary that I make a wish that I really want, like
Give me a heart that's limitless 'til it stops
Give me a life, committing me to the job
Give me steel so discipline isn't lost
Ambition to hit the top like Sisyphus with the rock
'Cos my repetitions mirror the clock
I take my burden and lift it into the fog
And the mission's still infinite when we drop
Ambition to hit the top like Sisyphus with the rock
I'll be in the dark
Making wishes to the stars
That we'll soon be alright
Do I know they're alive?
I'll be in the dark
Making wishes to the stars
That we'll soon be alright
Do I know they're alive?
Alive
Do they hear this at all?
If a tree were to fall
If a tear were to
