Don't rely on me
My feet are stuck and my eyes leak
But I feel the ceiling drop
The floor rising
It won't stop
Time away is all I need
A curse walks around here
I see it hide behind my chair
And it peers at me
It's grip is so strong
It bruises me
Everynight the light blows out
Silence hears me coming
Everyday it fakes us out
