for days.

i could sleep for days

the bed never felt quite so comfortable

i've never been so honest, but it feels like a lie

the room is full, but i might as well be alone

zoning out like on a permanent drug

check.

me.

out.

so i called to see if they could take me in

and everyone said it was an awful place to be

so i went back to bed

i could sleep for days

the bed never felt quite so comfortable

i've never been so honest, but it feels like a lie

my phone rang and we talked

she knows me like the back of her hand

i told them to leave but they just kept coming

kept rushing in obedience to gravity

until my eyes were swollen

and in the morning i couldn't open them

i could sleep for days

i could drive forever if the tank was endless

and now the self-destructive tendencies are in full swing

pray the grace takes hold before the bitterness does

pray the forgiveness cuts me lose before my rage wakes up

pray for something good before i shut down for good

just another shadow of something that was

i can feel myself slipping

i can feel myself going mad in my own skin

there is a bullet in my teeth and whiskey in my hand

i could sleep for days.
