lyrics

It was raining from the ceiling when the walls all came to flood
So I pulled out from the corner and I woke up tasting blood
And I touched my bottom lip and tried to realign my vision
Both my ears were red and ringing, but I tried my best to listen

And the man in blue there said I only had myself to blame
The woman offered me a cigarette but I can't recall her name
And the shock, it was remarkable, but I tried hard not to smile
If only for the sake of my victim, though I felt just like a child

And I couldn't tell you where this new found sense of purpose came
When only hours before this, I'd considered jumping from a train

And then Sunday morning rolled around and the chimes and bells were ringing
All those birds, they'd had their burdens lifted, and all of them were singing
And I told my mother that I wouldn't be in church that day
For I was ill, but I'd return when I was feeling more okay

And I was sure the congregation could appreciate my leave
I would be back in better spirits, I'd be ready to believe
And the elders, save for three of them, they'd all forgot my name
I'd returned a few times since that day but I've never been the same

I no longer hate the sunshine and I love the smell of air
And the sound of my own breath's no longer something I can't bear

Well my debt had piled high and all my work saw no reprieve
I was diligent in all my studies when I resolved to leave
I was holed up, I was broken, I had fallen off the track
And though I talk about it often, I have never once looked back

And tomorrow I will wake up and not feel lonely or deprived
I'll have drank myself nearly to death, but I'll be so much more alive
And my clock will be circadian 'cause I'll have oiled all it's gears,
I will sleep the whole night through the way I haven't done in years

I was whole and miserable, well behaved and terribly well spoken
But me, I'd prefer to be nearly dead and hardly anywhere and broken
