Lyrics for Doorknob Confessional

It's that time of year again We've got to keep the water running Or else the pipes will freeze It's colder in my living room Than it is outside No matter when I get out of bed I'll still be this tired I'm always Halfway between asleep and up all night Glued to dirty sheets whether or not I like Around 4am I'm hearing voices But nothing scares me anymore I know it's just That time of day again Too much better than I've been I'll scan eBay for a while Bid on a ton of items Start projects left and right Then abandon them tonight This might not be what good feels like But at least I'm not so fucking tired I'm halfway between asleep and up all night Glued to dirty sheets whether or not I like Around 4am I'm hearing voices But nothing scares me anymore I know it's just New medication reacting to My reticence to accept the truth Got a lifetime of error ahead of me Trial that might not change anything Whoever said "just get some exercise" Has clearly never, ever tried To claw out of their own damn body Planned a route to their own exit sign Barely held on 'til their next appointment Couldn't eat and went to bed for dinner Spent a holiday weekend in borrowed clothes And those socks that help you grip the floor They've never been Halfway between asleep and up all night Glued to dirty sheets whether or not I like Around 4am I'm hearing voices But nothing scares me anymore I know it's just New medication reacting to My reticence to accept the truth Got a lifetime of error ahead of me Trial that might not change anything Living and dying by a routine It's just a disorder, not a disease Still get a nice, long life, if I'm lucky
