Lyrics & Music

I open my eyes
And the sun is rising
But all I feel
Is darkness inside

The day is beginning
But I wish it was over
Nothing washed away
With the tears I cried

I ride into town
And wait in an office
I close my eyes and see
Bullets ripping through my head

The doctor asks me
About how I’m feeling
And the truth is
I wish I was dead

(Chorus 1)
We need to wrap up
Your time’s up today
Pick up your meds
And go on your way
Call up a hotline
If you don’t feel ok
Let’s contract for safety
Until you’re seen Monday

(Release 1)
And my mouth is dry
And I have a headache
As I go about my day

Put one foot
In front of the other
And pretend like I’m ok

Rinse and repeat
Wait for the medicine
To heal my head

Time goes on
Days get darker
I dream about being dead
(End of Release 1)

Now I have insomnia
Before I could sleep forever
Seven hours sleep
This week in all

Now it looks like
Things are crawling on the ceiling
And voices and weird music
Coming from the wall

(Chorus 2)
We need to wrap up
Your time’s up today
Pick up your meds
And go on your way
Call up a hotline
If you don’t feel ok
Please consider
Being admitted today

(Release 2)
Sign releases
Talk to strangers
My belongings locked away

Strip searched
My blood drawn and
Given a cold dinner tray

Lock me up
And give me pills
Until I feel ok

Rinse and repeat
until the
Insurance won’t pay
(End of Release 2)

I go back home
But I don’t feel better
I gained some weight
And it’s hard to move

I try to resume
What I left off with
I’m not really sure
What else to do

Solo

I open my eyes
And the sun is rising
Anxiety and darkness
In my mind

My life is beginning
But I wish it was over
There’s no peace or comfort
I can find

I ride into town
and it is a struggle
I imagine
So many ways to die

I tell the doctor
About how I’m feeling
And the doctor says
There’s more pills to try

Chorus 1

(Outro)
Oh no! (4x)
