Sitting around, no work today
Try pacing to keep awake
Laying around, no school today
Just drink until the clock has circled all the way
It's late afternoon, as you walk through the room
Of a house that is quiet
Except for unanswered telephones
You stand near the sink,
You mix up a drink
You think you don't want to pass out
Where your roommates could find you again
Stumble 'round the neighboorhod, nothing to do
You're always looking for something
To sniff smoke or swallow
Calling over next door, see what they've got
But you would settle for anything
That would make your brain slow down or
Stop this circle of thoughts you chase
Before they catch back up with you
And your parents noticed your thinning face,
All the weight you've lost,
All the weight you're losing
You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton,
No more sleep walking dead"
You're going to wake from this coma
You're going to crawl from this bed you've made
Stop counting on the camera
That hangs around your neck,
Cause it will never remember what you choose to forget
As you try to find one source of light,
Try to name one thing you like
You used to have such a longer list,
And light, you never had to look for it
But now it's so easy, it's so easy to--
It's so easy, it's so easy to
Second guess everything you do
Until all you want, all you want is to
Finish this half empty glass
Before the ice all melts away
This feeling always used to pass,
Seems like it's every day
Seems like it's every night now
