lyrics

Just as I suspect
tomorrow’s not something to wait for
I’ll be tired again
years and years go by
while I still sit around and wait more
I can’t wait for it
tomorrow is yesterday to come
and yesterday is gone
into oblivion

Maybe there’s hope
but right now there’s not
the snake oil that I have bought
left me no better or even worse off
ripped me off

half of my life has gone to waste
and this half’s next in line to fade
kill me, help me, let me out
save me, drug me, make it right
kill me, help me, get me out
have mercy fucking kill me now
I need relief from lack of sleep

somewhere there’s hope
but right here there’s none

A prison with no walls or guards
confinement among all the crowds

And then something occurred to me
as I was getting dizzy
spun around myself
I feel better now than I ever do
Mix the drugs forget the lust
settle into the now
but when I sober up
the whole world comes right back down on me

Maybe it’s just me that’s coming down
but i can’t get these memories to leave me

I’ve heard all wounds heal with time
I just lack resilience of body and mind
could it be something I missed
that led me to be so anxious

in spite of my self
despite all my sin
and guilt I pray
but since there’s no god
this prayer is for me
for something comforting

and I know it could be worse
but I take no solace knowing
how much others hurt
Yeah I know it could get worse
and I fear that it will
I think it could be better
if I could find how to make it
is there no reversal to this slow descent
I want to thank you all
but I hate everyone else
I love you all but I hate myself

so could i just lay still
enough to rest my head
’til I can feel little better
wide awake but in a daze
I’ll sail away, I’m planning my escape

Give me a lift
take me away from this
I’ve tried so hard
I don’t think I can do it
give me a hand
pull me out of this
before I give up before I give in

stuck beneath the waking line
boundary between the sleep and life
drowned in dreams
dreamt to death

sound the alarm to make me begin
turn the key and start the engine
this is my attempt at magic
I want to live before it all ends
light the candle let it burn
reverse this curse
