Nothing Changes

I sit, and I watch the clock
 I picture you on the rocks
 
 I'm erasing your trace, a new coat of paint, a new set of locks
 A new mattress, the same old bitter thoughts
 ♪
 Thought I could fill the void, but if I'm being honest with myself
 Nothing ever changes
 No, nothing ever changes
 Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out
 But nothing ever changes
 No, nothing ever changes
 Nothing ever changes
 And now I just stay in bed
 Reading books I've already read
 ♪
 Playing guitar
 Well, I'm learning to shred
 But it's too hard, I strum chords instead
 Like it would fill the void, but if I'm being honest with myself
 Nothing ever changes
 No, nothing ever changes
 Thought I could just crank up the noise, and maybe it would drown it out
 But nothing ever changes
 No, nothing ever changes
 (Nothing) I sit and I watch the clock
 (Ever changes) I picture you on the rocks
 (Nothing) erasing your trace, a new coat of paint, a new set of locks
 (Ever changes) a new mattress, but the same old bitter thoughts
 And even if the wait is long
 And all the words are wrong
 Put the recorder on, and I'll begin again
 I just need a quiet lull
 Some books and alcohol
 To get me through the night, and I'll begin again
 Nothing ever changes
 I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
 Nothing ever changes
 Yeah, I'll get through the night, then I'll begin again
