When did everything begin to change?
Spending every night alone behind this screen
I've been working endless in my brain
Still I can't seem to find a place between
And now I've been seeing creatures
Getting comfortable around this place
So Doctor, looking at my features
Tell me what you see, am I insane?
That's when I tell myself
"I don't care that you've started wearing down
You better step it up, step it up. The timing is right
The only one you're fighting is staring in the mirror
You better make it work, make it work
The timing is right and it's only a test, it's only a test."
Suffering a bit of doubt inside
Seeing the reflection only makes it feel real
I've been tossed around a time or two
Funny in the way I seem to hang on still
But I can hold it all together
Paint a grin across the top of it
But lately I am thinking maybe
It'd be better off to just give in
That's when I tell myself
"I don't care that you've started wearing down
You better step it up, step it up. The timing is right
The only one you're fighting is staring in the mirror
You better make it work, make it work
The timing is right and it's only a test, it's only a test."
And it's like the closure comes from up under suddenly
So make a point to keep an eye on the shuffling
"I don't care that you've started wearing down
You better step it up, step it up. The timing is right
The only one you're fighting is staring in the mirror
You better make it work, make it work
The timing is right and it's only a test, it's only a test."
