The ending of this song as it exists here on this demo is nothing like the new version of the song.
lyrics
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
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
