lyrics

Nervous feelings of a panic coming on
As I sit in Saratoga all night long
Dirty fingertips smell of cigarette smoke
As I look back on what just happened
Pass your stop and I choke

Stumble inside
Wait til everyone falls asleep then I cry
Wake up in the morning, find a safe place to hide
When your smell is still in my bed

Just try to stay occupied
But every time I try it’s like my synapses are burnt out and fried
In a stagnant monotone
Say “I can’t do this on my own”

Put everything under a microscope
Smoke too much dope and lose hope
Like that’s a perfectly fine way to cope
As I lie to myself
ripped up a million pieces back on the shelf

Lay on my back
Take another sip until I cough up and hack
all the ugly things i thought I stuffed in a sack
like lies and crashing waves I know it’s all coming back

But I will stay occupied
And hopefully when I try it’s like my synapses aren’t burnt out and fried
In a stagnant monotone
Say “I can’t do this on my own”
With every single weakness shown
No I can’t do this on my own

OH MY GOD

Up late and it won’t shut off
Cause it’s never enough
