The alarm clock sets my fate and tonight this place means nothing
Just concrete walls dressed in photographs of people I've never met
These are the things you think about when you can't get to bed
But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end
But I've seen enough to know that those are just
Flimsy affirmations from your friends
So I'll take what I can get
From another night laying open eyes
Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again
With every tick this clock it takes
I'm lying helpless underneath the sheets closing my eyes bears no escape
For troubled minds these dark rooms are getting smaller by the day
These are the longest nights of your young life so plan accordingly
Can't sleep, won't sleep
But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end
But I've seen enough to know that those are just
Flimsy affirmations from your friends
So I'll take what I can get
From another night laying open eyes
Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again
For all intensive purposes I'm dead The alarm clock sets my fate and tonight this place means nothing Just concrete walls dressed in photographs of people I've never met These are the things you think about when you can't get to bed But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end But I've seen enough to know that those are just Flimsy affirmations from your friends So I'll take what I can get From another night laying open eyes Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again With every tick this clock it takes I'm lying helpless underneath the sheets closing my eyes bears no escape For troubled minds these dark rooms are getting smaller by the day These are the longest nights of your young life so plan accordingly Can't sleep, won't sleep But I've heard it said that the toughest times will end But I've seen enough to know that those are just Flimsy affirmations from your friends So I'll take what I can get From another night laying open eyes Thinking about the reasons why I'm alone again Explain Request ×
