I'll twist some words for you tonight just to avoid the truth, only to protect you I can't turn off any of these lights How can I explain away why I haven't slept in days? They come here just to mock me I can't tell anybody Why can't I grab a shoe and exterminate what I know's ungodly? I can't turn off any of these lights You won't know why I'm not alright
I'll twist some words for you tonight just to avoid the truth, only to protect you I keep my eyelids sewn so tight to the crests so they can't close; cold kitchen floor freezes all ten toes They come here just to mock me I can't tell anybody Why can't I grab a shoe and exterminate what I know's ungodly? I can't turn off any of these lights You won't know why I'm not alright
