lyrics

Now thinking back, I’m feeling sick
Because uncertainty is worse than realistic truth
It’s not fun living with guilt for things you’re not even sure you did or will do
When your account’s four digits deep
I think it’s clear as night and day why sleep escapes me still
And the account is in my name
Because it’s mine, and it’s my fault, and that thought makes me ill
I’m like Sisyphus on the hill

And I can feel it going
I feel I’m out of my mind
Why should I keep it running?
I feel I’m running out of time
All I can think about is
Thinking of how to make it end
How best to bend the truth without it driving me around the bend

It’s 3AM, you’re fast asleep
But my descent into unease is already too steep
Is this the week to pay the rent?
Did the bills come out? If so, I’m spent
I’m still four digits deep
I wonder what the future brings?
I hope it’s not another day where I can’t move my limbs
Without the pain shooting up my back
In frequent spasms like one hundred systematic bee stings
I blame my twenty-year-old mattress springs
