A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not

Sitting 'round, no work today Try pacing to keep awake Laying around, no school today Just drink until the clock has circled all the way It's late afternoon As you walk through the rooms of a house that is quiet Except for unanswered telephones You stand near the sink, you mix up a drink You think you don't wanna pass out Where your roommates could find you again Stumble 'round the neighboorhod, nothing to do You're always looking for something To sniff smoke or swallow Calling over next door, see what they've got But you'd settle for anything that'd make your brain slow down Or stop this circle of thoughts you chase Before they catch back up with you And your parents noticed your thinning face All the weight you've lost, all the weight you're losing You said, "I'm done feeling like a skeleton No more sleep walking dead" You're gonna wake from this coma You're going to crawl from this bed you've made Stop counting on the camera that hangs around your neck 'Cause it will never remember what you choose to forget As you try to find one source of light, try to name one thing you like You used to have such a longer list Light, you never had to look for it But now it's so easy, it's so easy to So easy, it's so easy to second guess everything you do Until all you want, all you want is to Finish this half empty glass Before the ice all melts away This feeling always used to pass Seems like it's every day Seems like it's every night now
