City Mouth Sleep Debt
[Intro]
I've put a whole lot of money in the pockets in my eyes
And it's gonna all add up and leave me feeling numb inside
And I've seen a whole lot of people disappear into their thoughts
And I am on my way
Just look right through me, I'll be gone before you know
[Verse 1]
So cut it out, don't you wait
Finish the bottle before you lose your faith
Find God in words of drunken rage
And hell in the fear to leave this place
Cause I've been living in a devil town and I knew it the whole time
Despite the bite marks on my drunken veins, I thought that I was fine
[Chorus]
All I know is I can't stay here
This is an old ghost town and I've known for years
And there's a million little voices screaming in my ear
And they're just wondering if I'll survive this year
[Verse 2]
Motivation never lasts
Let's have a toast to going nowhere fast
If I ever get up off my back
I'll be down again in seconds flat
Cause this is the farthest I could ever go to attempt to do more damage
And if it doesn't make you flinch, then I've got nothing
I've got nothing
[Chorus]
All I know is I can't stay here
This is an old ghost town and I've known for years
And there's a million little voices screaming in my ear
And they're just wondering if I'll survive this year
[Intro]
I've put a whole lot of money in the pockets in my eyes
And it's gonna all add up and leave me feeling numb inside
And I've seen a whole lot of people disappear into their thoughts
And I am on my way, just look right through me
[Bridge]
And you washed me out of your clothes
So there's no mistake that I'm gone
I just can't get out of this town
Though it's clear that I don't belong
And you washed me out of your clothes
So there's no mistake that I'm gone
I just can't get out of this town
Though it's clear that I don't belong
[Bridge: Alice Pow]
I have a home in the place where I grew up
But I want a bigger tank
I want a bigger cup
[Bridge: Jeff Schaller]
I just need a little more time
Those circles you've been running are mine
I've given up on ghosts and you and sleep tonight
[Ending]
All I know is I can't feel my feet anymore
So don't ask me which way I'm walking
Of a million little voices, you're the only one that echoes
On the silent nights alone, you are the only one that's keeping me awake
