One Of These Days

One of these days
They'll come knocking on my door
And they'll crawl out from the floor
One of these days
I'm going to learn who I am
I'm going to find out
Who's the better man
One of these days.
The snow is breaking at my feet
I'm sinking into some old haggard street
I'm fixing my hair on the way
One of these days

Not getting up.

I walk on the pavement
Broken glass
Melted through the door
And I try to stay patient
But I'm not getting up
Off the floor
For anyone this time

A broken broom
And bent wires
I've tried my best
To twist all desire
Into lemonade

Eating sour apples
And wincing at lies
I've become the plateau for me
Plataeu in my life

I walk in broken boots
Heels crushing on the floor
The strings always stay tied
But I can't wear them anymore.
