given that your eyes are red with defeat
and given that a party's no place to retreat to
when you've lost it when you've lost it again
just take your pills and wander off to the den
is that the way you played it out in your head?
is that the future you had drowned in or the dread
that set you spinning, set you spinning for weeks
and let the melancholy drip from your sleeve?
fine! go waste another year
thinking you'd been wronged or how it could have been
so much easier to hear
instead of seeing it happen on your kitchen floor
just wake up and you will see
how it's not half as bad as you think it is now
is that the way you played it out in your head?
is that the future you had drowned in or the dread
that set you spinning, set you spinning for weeks
and let the melancholy drip from your sleeve?
given that your eyes are red with defeat
and given that a party's no place to retreat to
when you've lost it when you've lost it again
just take your pills and wander off to the den
fine! go waste another year
thinking you'd been wronged or how it could have been
so much easier to hear
instead of seeing it happen on your kitchen floor
just wake up and you will see
how it's not half as bad as you think it is now
