lyrics

So this is how it goes:
Another life-like dream
of spiders biting at my wrists.
And as I jolt awake
I feel the back of my head for cobwebs.

Another vision of explosions
or sleeping at the wheel.
So life just keeps on turning,
but I'm not sure what to feel.

Well, no one will ever hear this.
No one will even care at all.
We dug our own graves.
So every day I try
to shake myself on how
to not feel afraid.

So this is how it goes:
Another life-like dream
of floods and unresolved relationships.
And as I jolt awake
it's like I can't get enough oxygen.

Another deja vu
that I'm so used to.
That I'm so clever at blocking out.
So life just keeps on turning,
and I'm still here, trying to figure what it's all about.

Well, no one will ever hear this.
No one will even care at all.
We dug our own graves.
So every day I try
to shake myself on how
to not feel afraid.

Battery! Battery!
What happens when it's dead?
Similar! Similar!
To how a pen runs out of ink.
These words, these words
they mean nothing.
But if by chance you get it,
well, then you should understand everything.

Well, no one will ever hear this.
No one will even care at all.
We dug our own graves.
So every day I try
to shake myself, to shake myself, to shake myself on how -
to not feel afraid.
