Drunk at 4:00pm
The alarm clock blares Kicking it off
From a crack in the darkness, a boredom without a name
Highlights running short
Schadenfreude
A pretty bad showing, right Hear the knock at the door?
Since the day you disappeared,
it’s like that ghost took ahold of me
Sunk in a stupor, I’ve gone off the deep end
Just breathing, the day draws to a close
Something breaks, and I awaken again
Fair trade’s a fake, it’s a cold world out here
Going out every evening, can’t put my finger on it
Morning, noon and night, just trying to forget
Even if it’s a lie, I believe in it
But I’m not listening; the exchange
goes back and forth between us, evaporates like gas
That smog-stained room doesn’t have a lock—if you wanna wreck it, go ahead
Done down in Chinatown
Cloudy sky Gloomy mind, eyes blurred over
Invaded by the internet, take a dive in
A hanger falling from the eaves The future isn’t looking too bright
A teen lighting it up in an alley Even that part is routine
At my wit’s end, flying over this city
With my hopes distilled at 9%
Really, I know I’m not in hell just yet
Ghost, flicker out and leave my sight
Don’t teach me love a second time
I’ve no strength left Even the sound of my worn-out boots
striking the ground is hollow
“I miss you” “You’ll do fine on your own”
Dyed in the night, piling on and on
Bloom it with both hands, delete it from your mind
Switch out the circuit breaker and retrieve those forsaken hopes
Still can’t erase
the vision that I ground into the sidewalk
“I miss you” “You’ll do fine on your own”
Now, see, I’m just living In this room
Blooming in waste oil, flowers with names I don’t know
The dream that I’d hold if I healed someday
Despair is watching, eyes half-closed
Today, I’m sleeping more deeply than usual
Once again, soaking into it
For the most part Clinging to your hand
Ghost, flicker out
Don’t teach me love a second time
“I miss you”
“You’ll do fine on your own” It’s shining bright
Dyed in the night, it piles on and on
Ghost, flicker out and leave my sight
Don’t teach me love a second time
I’ve no strength left Even the sound of my worn-out boots
striking the ground is hollow
“I miss you” “You’ll do fine on your own”
Dyed in the night, piling on and on
Bloom it with both hands, delete it from your mind
Switch out the circuit breaker and retrieve those forsaken hopes
Still can’t wipe my mind, crashing
on the sidewalk that won’t dry up
I’m tired of you I’ll be fine on my own
Just living In this room
