Doorknob Confessional

[Verse]

It’s that time of year again

We’ve got to keep the water running

Or else the pipes will freeze

It’s colder in my living room

Than it is outside

No matter when I get out of bed

I’ll still be this tired

[Chorus]

I’m always

Halfway between asleep and up all night

Glued to dirty sheets whether or not I like

Around 4am I’m hearing voices

But nothing scares me anymore

I know it’s just

[Verse]

That time of day again

Too much better than I’ve been

I’ll scan eBay for a while

Bid on a ton of items

Start projects left and right

Then abandon them tonight

This might not be what good feels like

But at lеast I’m not so fucking tired

[Chorus]

I’m always

Halfway between asleep and up all night

Glued to dirty sheets whеther or not I like

Around 4am I’m hearing voices

But nothing scares me anymore

I know it’s just

New medication reacting to

My reticence to accept the truth

Got a lifetime of error ahead of me

Trial that might not change anything

[Verse]

Whoever said “just get some exercise”

Has clearly never, ever tried

To claw out of their own damn body

Planned a route to their own exit sign

Barely held on ‘til their next appointment

Couldn’t eat and went to bed for dinner

Spent a holiday weekend in borrowed clothes

And those socks that help you grip the floor

They’ve never been

[Outro Chorus]

Halfway between asleep and up all night

Glued to dirty sheets whether or not I like

Around 4am I’m hearing voices

But nothing scares me anymore

I know it’s just

New medication reacting to

My reticence to accept the truth

Got a lifetime of error ahead of me

Trial that might not change anything

Living and dying by a routine

It’s just a disorder, not a disease

Still get a nice, long life, if I’m lucky
