    Re-listened to an album I've had since I was a teenager (I'm now 53) and realised why these lyrics have stuck with me forever.

    Faith No More - Falling to Pieces

    Back and forth, I sway with the wind
    Resolution slips away again
    Right through my fingers, back into my heart
    Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark

    Sometimes I think I'm blind
    Or I may be just paralyzed
    Because the plot thickens every day
    And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away
    But I know there's a picture beneath

    Indecision clouds my vision
    No one listens

    Because I'm somewhere in between

    My love and my agony
    You see, I'm somewhere in between
    My life is falling to pieces
    Somebody put me together

    Layin' face down on the ground

    My fingers in my ears to block the sound
    My eyes shutting tight to avoid the sight
    Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight

    Droplets of "yes" and "no" in an ocean of "maybe"
    From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
    From the top, another downhill slope of mine
    But I know, the equilibrium's there

    Indecision clouds my vision

    No one listens

    (theres more too!)
