lyrics

Sometimes I can’t
Sleep at night
Because the monsters
In my head give me
Such a fright
That’s not true
They’re not monsters
But they’re really in my head
Invited or not
They’re all there and undead
And damn, they keep me awake
Till my zeroes and ones
Get all demagnetized
And my brain gets so angry
At a beautiful sunrise

Cause it’s one more confusing day
One more hazy day
When I’ll be away
From my deepest wants
And my deepest needs
Away from them
And myself indeed
Oh it’s so bright
And I’m so tired

So I stay awake
And wake my stay
And write it out until one day
I can feel comfortable again
And my guts subside to quiet

It’s a lot of hurt
And a lot of tears
A lot of piling on the years
Toward the certain
Inevitable something I must be

And the worried ones
Run circles in my heart
Till it skips a beat and beats a skip
The doctors can’t chart
On the fanciest charting machine
In the whole ER
But that’s not my whole heart
That’s just the electronic part

So I stay awake
And wake my stay
And write it out until one day
I can’t feel comfortable again
And my guts are never quiet

It’s a lot of hurt
And a lot of tears
A lot of piling on the years
Toward some certain
Inevitable something I don’t wanna be

Cause there’s too much time
All stuck in the past
Not enough is left until the last
Breath I will take
To get done what I need

So I stay awake
And wake my stay
And write it out until one day
I die
And my life subsides to quiet
