i march the steps to a sad little beating drum
it guides me to laughter and across the ocean
it crashes through this song and rings inside my ears
just like the others ill watch this one disappear

im paralyzed by the sound of the beating drum
like the glow of a tv and repeating reruns
is it useless to crave things youre certain are make believe?
ill watch them on the screen and pray it happens to me

you say you want to be something more
dont you want to be something more
you say you want to be something more
still you stay the same

i march the steps to a sad little beating drum
much further away but i’m back where i started from
