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