Don't Wake Me Up

face first, leading with exposed skin
spread thin and i'm sleeping i'm sleeping in
leveling out, retract my prior statement
i'm riddled with doubt, i'm riddled with cautious self confidence.
it's 1pm, i haven't done a single thing i'm proud of
since 1am, i think i told ya to go fuck right off
stick your neck out, retract your prior statement
cause once again, i'm doing what i can.
don't wake me up cause i'm not done
avoiding everyone
don't wake me up.
states' words, the status of the union
we're spread thin we're not speaking of speaking
rip up the floorboards, pretending like we've earned this
so what did we learn? what do we deserve? what do we deserve?
don't wake me up cause i'm not done
avoiding everyone, don't wake me up
just slide a note under my door and walk away
i'll be right here, right here.

Don't leave the keys in the pot this time
Just drop 'em in the slot
Too many crazies out
Blowing up the spot
I know i get to decide
At what time I let the next concession ride
That it would be easier if you'd keep them
And that's kinda why...
Trustworthy
Precious
I know I asked you to go, but don't go
'Cus guess who's gonna show
I sorta neglected to reckon she would
We planned this months ago
On a level i knew it was
A totally bonehead move
Guess I'm just not through
Getting ready for you
Pushover
Kiss-ass
People-pleaser

Yea, I fully understand you
In your shoes, I'd be angry with me too
Listen, I'm just now scared to put this phone down
& I sincerely hope we see each other around
I didn't come here to fight, but it might
Be time to take a breather
I'm not a cheater but you're right
To feel deceived - Burning
Through my goodwill for the night
Just like a fire in a theater
Easier said than did
The decisions of a leader
True, I really agree with you
But we never etched this in permanent, remember?
I just get the feeling, once this moment ends
That we won't be running into each other again
It was awkward like a sonnet
That's my apology, you keep it if you wanna
& my hands
Are as clean as they are tied
I'll come and pick up the bed sometime
When I can find a ride
Besides the unsaid reason for the drive

Your shit is pretty boring
Your success is annoying
I used to want you on my team
Your thing is you're too respected
Your wit is never tested
You never remember your dream
Week in, week out
Garbage in, garbage out
Sneak in, chicken out
Garbage in garbage out
Was it too much praise
At too young an age?
Maybe the duck's just lame
Or luck is the game's name
Fuck it!
What doesn't suck?
What's enough fame?
What's in your name
That's gonna snuff this flame?
Week in, week out
Garbage in, garbage out
Sneak in, slink out
Garbage in, garbage out
For the record, I don't
Customarily complain
At least nothing special jumps to the brain
But just for once
I'd love to be lumped in with you cunts
And jump on a plane
I will not be ordinary
I will not be bored anymore
I will not be your canary
I am done being poor
I will not be ordinary
I cannot afford the remorse
I will not be ordinary
I will not be ignored

There's a flaw in the logic of your perception of me
Well routed in confirmation biases
Like i thought that i knew who you where based on what you presented
It's unfortunate
For what I want I can wait
I will wait 4800 years
There's a tacit conclusion of tribe thoughtlessly
Prescribed by they that reside in this myopic state of mind
Like i thought that i knew who you were based on what you present
It's irrelevant, what's the point of it
See me like I see you
If you were here I'd be home by know, so hold on tight
As you wildly flail for your life with your eyes
Motionlessly beside me deciding what I like and don't like about you
Fantasy and projections preclude anything you could present
What's the point of it, it's all bullshit
For what i want i can wait
I will wait 4800 hundred years

We've both been in much worse trouble before, it's easy
You ought to scrunch up your trapezius more, honey
Tell me what you're like, and I'll patiently ignore your lie
You're likely to find me patrolling and holding tight
Don't know if it consoles you, but the man you knew
Was only the me I chose to be near you
I'm ready to go in a moment and you should be too
I dragged my ass out here for one reason
And it wasn't because I wanted to consort with your annoying boyfriend
The end of the road was miles ago - why is it we proceeded forth?
Because you are so lonely and I am so easily bored?
Stay naked & get in front of me
It'll be okay
Yea I may be trudging along lovelessly
But you're the one fucking a tumbleweed
Relationship shit is for suckers and
You're lucky you're even seeing me
We can wait till the ruckus has cleared
Then tuck into beers and leave, displaced
And that way, nobody loses face
No one's in a position to complain
If you would just please refrain from
Needing anything
I have no interest in your
Feelings on what I said wrong
& I wrote a song for you
Called "Honesty is a Prison"

Be still my idiot brain, these ruminations feel like a plague
Every decision I've made a string of regrets, endless as shame
Is it early or late
is there something to save
We never know how much our breath is really a waste
I seen you paddling upstream, 50th street shiny and skippering
Row your gondola toward me, reality takes over life but, to dream
Is it early or late, to say what I want
Is there something to save or is it too far gone
We never know how much our breath is really a waste
Why couldn't i love you right
The burden bears down on me
I'm starting to feel my legs creaking and waeakening
if this is only a dream then why's it seem like
I couldn't love you right
Is it early or late
Is there something to save or is it too far gone
You never know how much our breath is really a waste
Why couldn't I love you right
