Woke up still breathing not sure why
Clock hands laughing dragging me behind
Ghosts in my phone voices in static
I nod I smile automatic
Gas light's on keys in hand
One turn one move I can
But I stall
Again
Could let go could fade out
One breath one slip no sound
But the chains hum lullabies
And I stay
Again
Debt's got hands wrapped tight around my throat
Faces talk but I don't take the notes
Rooms so full I disappear
They say my name but I'm not here
Exit's there neon bright
One step one leap feels right
But I stall
Again
Could let go could fade out
One breath one slip no sound
But the chains hum lullabies
And I stay
Again
Highways call sky so wide
Feet won't move something tied
Close my eyes taste the fall
But nothing breaks nothing at all
Morning comes same bed same weight
Another day I overstayed
One more chance to run away...
But I don't
