lyrics

I woke up wide awake on time
That never happens when you don't get engaged
I felt so lonely that I died
I took a shower but it wasn't the same
I couldn't hear through all the silence
I tried to move but if felt just like glue
Think I'll paint over my eyelids
It's so much easier to be seeing black than being blue

I felt the room turn on its side
I wondered why everything didn't slide across the floor
All these new angles have me fried
Falling out of my bed, I'm falling out of the door
The nights just come to me in waves
I shake enough that it doesn't show
If I take time to disengage
I want to feel the rip of your skin off my bones

I tried to call you on the phone
Felt pretty stupid cause I don't have your number
So I just dialed all the ones I knew
I think it probably took forever
So then I kicked my Internet
It's just killing my survival
My email service wants to know if we've met
I think I'm funny cause I keep bringing up the bible

I'm sick of feeling sorry
And I'm sorry I feel sick
I'm either sober and self conscious
Or far too speak to quick
But tonight my voice is eggshells
My tongue's a duller knife
Instead of looking in the mirror
I'd rather turn out the lights

I woke up in a different body
That never happens when you don't get engaged
