lyrics

too much something to do
pool full of productivity
not feeling wet today
can’t wake up to say

I feel like an alien
marching through a postwar street
like a fever dream
this blanket’s not enough to keep me asleep

you can’t pretend that I care
enough to climb down the stairs
and you’re surprised
sleep deprivation eyes
feel the flame go
burning out the ego

there’s something in the middle
looks at me, listens as I fall asleep
sits in my dream lands
reaches and slices my bony hands

I feel like an animal
chained up to a national post
like an ancient ghost
back up into history and find the lie
