lyrics

(Dug)

I remember back when I would never nap
believing that the world inhabited awake
is automatically the better half.
It seems so simple til your nibbled to the gristle.
And you figure lay immobile more
why not make it official?
I don't have time.
Nor can I find the biochemistry
to even sleep like normal folks.
But would I, buddy, definitely.
Yeah I can tell I'm dreaming
when I'm not thinking of bed.
And if I'm lucid then I'm doomed.
Clarity is what I dread.
It's like lay face down for
what seems like a day while
never going under
but ya gray out
Hey now,
do that for two decades
while you figure what's the best way
to pull minimum three hours
maybe write yourself an essay.

(Chorus)

Catch Z's like a sword from a lake.
Enough or otherwise tomorrow
make important mistakes.
Debate, the consequences
& it's grist for the mill.
For all I practice
I know panic really isn't a skill. x2

I bet that everybody thinks I'm a jerk
And if they do you know I'm ready,
got that neatly rehearsed.
I go completely berserk.
And keep it really on the regular.
And hope you shoot the breeze,
instead of the messenger.
The moon I lay below,
is basically the radio.
My references reflected this
and I get tired of saying so.
Tired, but not sleepy.
At least while I'm up
and binge-hate-watching me.
Run a fan.
Toss and turn.
Lost and damned.
But not for sure.
The studies show
that I've knocked myself out.
Crack a bottle to acknowledge that's
the option for now.
Yuck.
The thoughts are gonna
suck all of the oxygen out.
I went and left myself alone
with the most hostile of crowds.
I'm playing possum again.
Leave all the flotsam to set.
I'd fix it
but I did it
so that that's impossible now.

(Chorus)
