lyrics

it's always worst at night
worse i'm silently signing away my life
for a while i've been lying in spite
of my judges and also lying out of sight
i've never felt this way before
how has sunlight become such an eyesore?
should probably wake up
pour problems and mountain dew out of my cup
been up all night
feeling numb and paralyzed
slipped on dirty clothes too tight
stumbling absentmindedly outside
shoelaces barely tied
i barely tried to get out of bed
usually giving in to the phrase in my headstone
"don't try, it doesn't matter
i'm sick of this. can i be any sadder?"
storing a weekend nightcap
to last the month
until i've finally slept past
all my appointments and obligations
friends, celebrations and occasions

some people need 'em
some people leave 'em
maybe someday i won't
some people leave 'em
some people feastin'
maybe someday i won't

unsure of how to rig the levels
to line up happiness
get the shit thoughts to settle
giving up and taking too much rest
lying on my chest
disregarding advice my back is fucked
oh well, prescription pill habits are the cutest
guess my luck
will i still walk at 35
from all of the shitty dives
on skateboards on late night rides?
and if the choice was still mine
would i make it or sit back and lie
in a hopeless comfort "no, i'm fine?"
perhaps i'm wrecking my cat naps
pondering i should just relax

some people need 'em
some people leave 'em
maybe someday i won't
some people leave 'em
some people feastin'
maybe someday i won't
