You procrastinated sleep
So you sought out to make it routine
I thought being this numb was me toughening up
You stitched the back of your corduroys

I'm withdrawn from the ways that you are
Stuck in a dream state of the art
I went with my gut and I threw it all up
So dig your thumbs into my pressure points

You're always leaving the light on
I'm leaving before it gets bad
And if it's what you want
Why do you look like that?
I will bend over backwards
To keep what you've got here intact
Who will die in my lifetime?
You'd rather pass in your sleep

I'm losing my way with words
Sentences scattered and slurred
Hope the last breath I breathe
is a sigh of relief
With your past on a pedestal

Should I fall off of the face of the earth?
Or rinse with salt, just so it doesn't hurt?
I've said it once, said it twice
I've spoiled everything nice
Shutting down summer solstice
To make a shorter schedule

You're always leaving the light on
I'm leaving before it gets bad
And if it's what you want
Why do you look like that?
I will bend over backwards
To keep what you've got here intact, intact

If I treat every thought like a stab in the back
I will write out my last words
I'll save every wishbone you snapped
You snapped

You're always leaving the light on
I'm leaving before it gets bad
And if it's what you want
Why do you look like that?
I will bend over backwards
To keep what you've got here intact
