Dave Matthews Band – Rhyme & Reason lyrics

Album: Under the Table & Dreaming

Oh well, oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
Now can I turn to it
Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place --
and I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches -- warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet underground

How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots -- My stomach reels
In concern for what I might do or
What I've done
It's got me living in fear
Well I know these voices must
Be my soul
I've had enough
I've had enough
Of being alone
I've got no place to go

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet underground

In my grave
Lying wired shut and quiet in my grave

Leave me here,
Leave it to me to waste here

So young here I am again
Talking with myself
A T.V. blares
Oh man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head
But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bare it all
Needle to the vein,
Needle to my vein
Take this needle from my vein, my friend...

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will...
'Til I'm six feet underground...

In my grave...
Lying, wired shut and quiet in my grave

Reason -- my reason
Take my head off this terror
I'm raging I'll come back
I'll see
My mind's all wiped clean
And the needle...
Make my great escape
I'll feel the cold in time
My head leaves me behind
Let me fade away

I seem caught in time
My head leaves me behind
Body falls cold
And I see Heaven, yeah...
