If I wake at the end of the day
And spend all night, trying to sleep
The little time left is enough to keep
Myself, occupied.
Maybe I'll keep myself locked up,
Inside and away from the ones I love.
Maybe it's better,
To stay away.
Maybe I'll find some form of relief
In the face of the pillow and the tangle of sheets
Maybe I'll find some inner peace
In the sweat and the sorrow and the gnashing of teeth
Well, maybe this is all for nothing
A pointless exercise in basic self-loathing
Maybe I'll find nothing at all
Or all that I was expecting.
But I guess I'll find out before the end of next week,
And if you're still around, maybe we can get a drink?
And I'll see you in the morning,
I'll see you.
And so this goes, for days and weeks
Until suddenly it feels like a total defeat.
There's nothing to come back to,
There's nothing to come back from.
And so the cycle continues of,
Drinking myself to sleep,
Just to wake to vomit stained sheets.
Cold sweating when I'm sober.
Suddenly there was a hand in the dark,
Someone who can maybe help me find a fresh start.
If it wasn't for you who knows where I'd be?
Lost in the sea or maybe six feet deep and now
All I want to do is the same for you,
But it's so fucking hard when you don't seem to want to
See a light at all,
See a light at all.
But I guess I'll find out before the end of next week,
And if you're still around, maybe we can get a drink
And I'll see you in the morning,
I'll see you.
I'll see you.
