Sick As I've Been
Stop fading, twilight
Till I can close the night
With sacrificial offerings, this sand
Wore out the dawn in me
Buried beneath my feet
But I'm still hoping
In telling me something I could not believe
You still brought out the worst in me
My cutting ties with better lies
Still loosened me to fall into the same traps in my head
Through all the breaks and the bends
Still when I fail I pretend
I'm not as sick as I've been, time and again
Tan, churning wasteland
Don't suck me in again
No silver screens, no shiny things, this sign
Says I've been here before
And boarded up the door
But time seeps slowly
Remembering the nightmares teeming to escape
I sit and wait for worlds to change
A bleak machine, no in between
I know now that the cycle never ends
Through all the breaks and the bends
Still when I fail I pretend
I'm not as sick as I've been, time and again
Till I can close the night
With sacrificial offerings, this sand
Wore out the dawn in me
Buried beneath my feet
But I'm still hoping
In telling me something I could not believe
You still brought out the worst in me
My cutting ties with better lies
Still loosened me to fall into the same traps in my head
Through all the breaks and the bends
Still when I fail I pretend
I'm not as sick as I've been, time and again
Tan, churning wasteland
Don't suck me in again
No silver screens, no shiny things, this sign
Says I've been here before
And boarded up the door
But time seeps slowly
Remembering the nightmares teeming to escape
I sit and wait for worlds to change
A bleak machine, no in between
I know now that the cycle never ends
Through all the breaks and the bends
Still when I fail I pretend
I'm not as sick as I've been, time and again
