Rest Of My Life

[Intro]
Going to stay away for the rest of my life yeah

[Verse 1]
Layin’ here under thin cloth, I’m counting hour four
Lookin’ at the drywall bumps in the light of a power cord
Like it’s bragging, that a connection has been made
My windows were like sundials, but I fixed ‘em up with masking tape
Yeah it’s so welcoming, the sheets weighing me down
I can’t even taste the residue of toothpaste in my mouth
I count the minutes like hours spacing it out 7:59
8 o’ clock it starts making the sound
Wifey: Baby, what are you still doing awake? Turn the alarm off

[Chorus]
Going to stay awake, yup, for the rest of my lifе…it’s no wonder
We’re going to stay awakе, yup, for the rest of my life, yeah

[Verse 2]
What a night but not like this, there’s tiny bubbles crawlin’ on my skin
Pull the blanket down and watch it twitch
My body shifted eyes are shut, the static charge lights it up, for the audience inside my gut
All I can see is a bunch of confusing blurs of God casting out Lucifer down to the earth
Baby go back to sleep don’t get up, I’m just awake, making certain I taped the curtains shut
Wifey: Why are you taping the curtains shut? Go to sleep, turn off the alarm

[Chorus]
Going to stay awake, yup, for the rest of my life…it’s no wonder
We’re going to stay awake, yup, for the rest of my life, yeah

[Verse 3]
I’m so tired but so wired, my soul’s fire’s burned out
If I don’t try, I don’t like how it first sounds
I automate intrusive waking tones
To moderate my body’s aching bones the shaky motor makes it go
The lighted path is lookin’ bleak and narrow, the sheets are sterile
I thrash about like a beast that’s feral
But it’s a useless fit ‘cuz I can do nothin’
The lucky thing for me is my beat machine’s got a snooze button
Wifey: Turn it off, the alarm clock is driving me crazy, go back to sleep. Go to sleep, you’re still up? What the fuck?

[Chorus]
Going to stay awake, yup, for the rest of my life…it’s no wonder
We’re going to stay awake, yup, for the rest of my life, yeah
