A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not

Sitting around no work today

Try pacing to keep awake

Laying around no school today

Just drink until the clock has circled all the way

It's late afternoon as you walk through the rooms

Of a house that is quiet

Except for unanswered telephones

You stand near the sink

You mix up a drink

You think you don't want to pass out

Where your roommates could find you again

Stumble 'round the neighboorhod nothing to do

You're always looking for something

To sniff smoke or swallow

Calling over next door see what they've got

But you would settle for anything

That would make your brain slow down or

Stop this circle of thoughts you chase

Before they catch back up with you

And your parents notice your thinning face

All the weight you've lost

All the weight youre losing

You said ＂I'm done feeling like a skeleton

No more sleep walking dead ＂

You're going to wake from this coma

You're going to crawl from this bed you've made

Stop counting on the camera

That hangs around your neck

Cause it will never remember what you choose to forget

And you try to find one source of light

Try to name one thing you like

You used to have such a longer list

And light you never had to look for it

But now it's so easy it's so easy to

It's so easy it's so easy to

Second guess everything you do

Until all you want all you want is to

Finish this half empty glass

Before the ice all melts away

This feeling always used to pass

Seems like it's every day

Seems like it's every night now
