Sleeping at Last - Intermission Lyrics

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
My mind is full but I can't speak
Among the dust of the hard-to-reach
I'm stuck right here
Somewhere between side a and side b

I could call it compromise
Or just an intermission
Some kind of consolation prize
For the race i never finished

I want to turn these tired gears
I want to feel the follow-through
Some kind of equilibrium
Something to set my watch to

I'm here, somewhere between
Victory and a white flag
Caught in this purgatory dream, i'm stuck

But i want to set the record straight
I want to retrace my every step
If i could just rewind all the tapes
Then maybe i'd find my loose thread

Call it a compromise or just an intermission
Some kind of consolation prize
So close, but never finished

I want to turn these tired gears
I want to feel the follow-through
Some kind of equilibrium
Something to set my watch to
