sitting Sitting around, no work today
tryTry pacing to keep awake
layingLaying around, no school today
justJust drink until the clock has
Has circled all the way
it is
It's late afternoon
asAs you walk through the rooms
ofOf a house that is quiet
exceptExcept for unanswered telephones
you
You stand near the sink
while you'reYou're mixing a drink
youYou think you don't want to pass out
whereWhere your roommates will find you again
stumble
Stumble around the neighborhood with nothing
Nothing to do
you'reYou're always looking for something
toTo sniff, smoke, smoke or swallow
calling
Calling over next door to
To see what they got
butBut you would settle for anything
thatThat would make your brain slow down or stop
break
Break this circle of thoughts you chase
beforeBefore they catch back up with you
andAnd your parents noticed your thinning face, face
allAll the weight you lost
allAll the weight you are you're losing
you
You said, "i'm "I'm done feeling like a skeleton
noNo more sleep walking dead"
you're goingYou're gonna to wake from this coma
you're going toYou're gonna crawl from this bed you have made
and stop
Stop counting on that camera
thatThat hangs round your neck
becauseBecause it won't ever remember
whatWhat you choose to forget
as
As you try to find some source of light
tryTry to name one thing you like
youYou used to have such a longer list
andAnd light you never had to look for it
but
But now it's so easy, it's so easy to second
It's so easy, it's so easy to
Second guess everything you do
untilUntil all you want is all you want is to finish

Finish this half empty glass
beforeBefore the ice all melts away
thisThis feeling always used to pass
but seemsSeems like it's every day and
Seems like it's every night now
