lyrics

I lie in bed stressed, tired and awake
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take
I lie in bed stressed, tired and awake
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take

Every third thought be my grave
Relinquish the magic imagine a day
Devoid of the noise from the nats and the flies
No more aching over moments that keep passing me by

Floating in a primitive impetus
Annoyingly the buoyancy’s a curse not a benefit
How can I contend with it
Drowning in my thoughts on a plot to get rid of it

Feeling crushed by the abyss down deep
But on the surface it’s like an itch just out of reach
Even tho I’ve enacted some of the best advice
My mind’s still overstimulated body feels anesthetized

I just want to rest my eyes
Wondering if nothing’s right then what else is there left in life?
Find the void and fill it with a grin
Can’t escape the thought it’s all just Robbin Williams in the end

I lie in bed stressed, tired and awake
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take
I lie in bed stressed, tired and awake
I’m not sure how much more of this I can take

I can feel it in my chest, deep within my bones
This numbness is a plague and it’s spreading to my soul
The light is getting dim, even tho the sun is shinning
I guess darkness has a way of sending shadows to come find me

Make it stop I don’t want nothing more
I’m under the weather trying to get over a thunder storm
I used to think it was the norm
My mother gave me life but I’m really not sure what it’s for

Irrelevent, loser
Convincing myself it’ll get better in the future
It’s probly a lie
But I say it anyway cause it helps me get by

I tried so hard and got so far (1)
Stretch myself thin then pulled a part
I tried so hard for the goals I was after
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

(1) Reference to Linkin Park
