[00:12.87] Sitting around, no work today
[00:18.31] Try pacing to keep awake
[00:25.10] Laying around, no school today
[00:30.23] Just drink until the clock has circled all the way
[00:38.16]
[00:42.26] It's late afternoon, as you walk through the rooms
[00:47.00] of a house that is quiet
[00:50.15] except for unanswered telephones
[00:52.74] You stand near the sink
[00:55.50] you mix up a drink
[00:58.64] You think you don't want to pass out
[01:01.89] where your roommates could find you again
[01:05.60] Stumble 'round the neighboorhod, nothing to do
[01:10.02] You're always looking for something
[01:12.93] to sniff smoke or swallow
[01:16.26] Calling over next door, see what they've got
[01:20.92] But you would settle for anything
[01:23.75] that would make your brain slow down or
[01:26.34] stop this circle of thoughts you chase
[01:33.40] before they catch back up with you
[01:40.46] And your parents notice your thinning face
[01:46.19] All the weight you've lost
[01:49.51] All the weight youre losing
[01:53.57] You said "I'm done feeling like a skeleton
[01:56.12] no more sleep walking dead."
[01:59.99] You're going to wake from this coma
[02:03.26] You're going to crawl from this bed you've made
[02:07.61] Stop counting on the camera
[02:10.61] that hangs around your neck
[02:12.96] cause it will never remember what you choose to forget.
[02:20.13] And you try to find one source of light
[02:23.80] try to name one thing you like
[02:27.16] You used to have such a longer list
[02:29.93] And light, you never had to look for it
[02:33.20] But now it's so easy, it's so easy to
[02:36.83] it's so easy, it's so easy to
[02:39.98] second guess everything you do
[02:42.30] until all you want, all you want is to
[02:46.30] finish this half empty glass
[02:52.32] before the ice all melts away
[02:59.38] This feeling always used to pass
[03:05.10] seems like it's every day
[03:08.22] seems like it's every night now
