Sitti ng around, no wo rk t oday.
Try paci ng t o keep awake.
Layi ng around, no school t oday.
Just dri nk until the clock has circled all the way.

It's late afternoon, as you walk through the rooms
of a house that i s quiet
except fo r unanswered telephones.
You sta nd near the si nk,
you mix up a dri nk.
You thi nk you don't want t o pass out
where your roommates could fi nd you agai n.
Stumble 'round the neighboo rhod, n othi ng t o do.
You're always looki ng fo r somethi ng
t o sni ff smoke o r swallow.
Calli ng over next doo r, see what they've got.
But you would settle fo r anythi ng
that would make your brai n slow down o r
st op thi s circle of thoughts you chase
befo re they catch back up with you.
A nd your parents n otice your thi nni ng face,
All the weight you've lost,
All the weight youre losi ng.
You said "I am done feeli ng l ike a skelet on,
no mo re sleep walki ng dead."
You're goi ng t o wake from thi s coma.
You're goi ng t o crawl from thi s bed you've made.
St op counti ng on the camera
that hangs around your neck,
cause it will never remember what you choose t o fo rget.

A nd you try t o fi nd one source of light,
try t o name one thi ng you l ike.
You used t o have such a longer li st,
A nd light, you never had t o look fo r it.

But now it's so easy, it's so easy t o–
it's so easy, it's so easy t o
second guess everythi ng you do
until all you want, all you want i s t o
fi ni sh thi s half empty glass
befo re the ice all melts away.
Thi s feeli ng always used t o pass,
seems l ike it's every day
seems l ike it's every night now.
