Sunrise is an awkward thing
coming in through black curtains, of course
[Yeah] They keep the light dim,
shut it down so I can get some sleep.
My father used to say I was robbing myself
of the joys of new days.
[I] never really understood how he wasn’t
being sarcastic.
Morning never meant more to me
than another chance to fail every goal
someone set in front of me.
For 20 years I’ve pulled myself out of bed,
hoping that one day I'll be able to say,
"I made it out alive, even when I was trying my hardest not to."
"I made it out alive, even when I was trying not to."
It's been 2 weeks since I fell asleep before 10 in the morning
and I don't think that I will ever do it again
'cause I've been fucking up my own body
and who knew the words "no rest for the wicked" meant anything at all?
