You're my new disease
And your lips taste like charcoal
Carrying all the viruses
Of everyone they've kissed before
And even though I never sleep
I never thought I'd need someone to wake me up
From this infected sleep that holds me down
Under the radar of the waking world
There's a heart still beating under this stiff sheet
If you just look carefully
I'll save everyone time and dig my own grave
While slapping at the hand that's reaching out to me
I never thought I'd need someone to wake me up
From this cancer sleep that's spreading deep
Into the parts of me in the waking world
I am burying myself
I am burying this life
I built it up just to tear it down
In a broken rocketcar we are stalled
Just outside of town
And the doctors with their white coats
Never have a nice thing to say
It's always just more medication
To put me in this restless sleep
And the hand they reach is the one I slap
And the robots with their broken gears
Never show up in the mirrors
I never thought I'd need someone to wake me up
But I have these memories of you and me
The life we had, the life I seek
It's built up like a wall between the waking world I need
And this infected sweaty sleep
Filled with images of everything I've hid
The life we had
You said you loved me
I guess you did
