lyrics
Watching the clock is always painful
Cut the cord, turn out the light
Stare at the ceiling, hear her breathing
Can't force myself to close my eyes
Listen to the sounds of the night around me
Lamenting that sedation never found me
Cigarette burning in the midnight air
Desiring rest that simply is not there
The blessing of sleep is lost on those who obtain it
My thoughts are racing and I can't fucking take it
Killing time until the sun finally rises
Gritting my teeth over my compromises
The good times have faded, left in the dark alone
The walls start to cave in, I no longer feel at home
Drive through the night with no place to go
The abyss that calls me has an endless depth
It's a peaceful slumber that I'll never know
My eyes are heavy but I cannot rest
Spinning my wheels and getting nowhere
Smoke in my eyes, I don't care
Drowning in a sea of black
Watch the clouds, don't look back
I look forward to seeing tomorrow
Let sunlight come and chase away my sorrow
Forever fighting to return to my dreams
What's dead and gone will always be
