lyrics
The sky is making me dizzy. I’m holding on to the door, scared of all that infinity between the stars. Just the thought that there are some things that never end keeps me wide awake at night. So now I’m waking up and going through these motions again. I’ll do all the things I’m supposed to – well, more or less. I guess I’m falling behind, but it’s so hard to care. Does all of this mean anything?
On days like this, I think I know how you feel. It’s like that door in the wall on the old mill downtown, three stories up, that leads nowhere except a cruel, heavy fall to the ground. Don’t let me close, I will only break your bones.
There’s this dream I keep having where I’m trapped in a room and the air is so thick that I can barely move. And my eyesight is blurred, I can hardly make out what these shapes are, all around. Now it’s two in the morning, and I’m driving home from John’s house again on this long, empty road. And the streetlights that curve form a canyon so deep that I cannot escape.
I will only let you down. Don’t let me close, I will only break your bones.
