5Pm Manipulation
Every Morning, waking up, and the day is already shot
Five hours after noon
I've got a rainy disposition, garbage bags under my eyes
And I'm waiting for inspiration to bloom
And you tell me it's alright, I can take a day off
And I push you away, with a "whatever" and a scoff
You're way too good for me, yeah I know that it's true
But you don't seem to see it, I fear the day that you do
You say "STOP THAT, you idiot
If that was true why would I stick around?"
You look at me, and I look at you
And my mind it says "pity" but I don't make a sound
Because I like to think
That I understand you but I haven't slept a wink
Up at night wondering how many things you tell me are true
Giving up with the sun, I don't care about the truth
I like you
I like you
Oh, god
It all feels like something darker, can't afford to ask a doctor
So 'til then I'll put it all off on you
Acting reckless just to hear that worried tone in your voice
That shows you care about me, the way I know that you do
And they tell me to walk in, and follow his light
But I've been walking blind for a long, long time
You've been a light in these dark woods for as long as I've known you
So what happens if you leave, will my built-up hope leave too?
Because I hear the sound
Of 100 years from now, when we're both in the ground
And I can't find the words to make you see
Is it not enough to not want to be?
And I like the sound
Of 1000 years from now, when we're both still around
But it's still not enough to not want to be
How is it not enough to not want to be dead?
Five hours after noon
I've got a rainy disposition, garbage bags under my eyes
And I'm waiting for inspiration to bloom
And you tell me it's alright, I can take a day off
And I push you away, with a "whatever" and a scoff
You're way too good for me, yeah I know that it's true
But you don't seem to see it, I fear the day that you do
You say "STOP THAT, you idiot
If that was true why would I stick around?"
You look at me, and I look at you
And my mind it says "pity" but I don't make a sound
Because I like to think
That I understand you but I haven't slept a wink
Up at night wondering how many things you tell me are true
Giving up with the sun, I don't care about the truth
I like you
I like you
Oh, god
It all feels like something darker, can't afford to ask a doctor
So 'til then I'll put it all off on you
Acting reckless just to hear that worried tone in your voice

And I like the sound
Of 1000 years from now, when we're both still around
But it's still not enough to not want to be
How is it not enough to not want to be dead?
