Well caught in the distance Did I die in my sleep? Did I finish my sentence? Or was I grinding my teeth? Can I hold on forever With anxiety dialed Dialed up to the doorway Can a doctor smile? Lost in the distance, it's a mask I wear so well Thousand yard stare but it's my mind crawling through hell Another day goes by that ain't mine Another day passing me by Caught in a loop I ain't here to bide my time I ain't lost in the system I ain't bitting my tongue It ain't stuck in my throat With everything I've done I've been playing so nicely Trying to sleep through the night And I won't live forever Just by closing my eyes Caught in the distance, it's a mask I wear so well Thousand yard stare but it's my mind crawling through hell Another day goes by that ain't mine Another day passing me by Caught in a loop But I ain't here to waste my time ♪ And I can't take my finger Off the pulse of the night It's the realization I can't adjust to the light I could never thread lightly Could hardly breathe It was killing me slowly It used to be the morphine Another day goes by that ain't mine Another day passing me by Caught in a loop But I ain't here to bide my time Well, we don't live forever Try to sleep through the night Does it ever get better Just by closing my eyes? There's no absolute quiet It's a darkness so bright It's the realization I can't adjust to the light Caught in the distance, it's a mask I wear so well Thousand yard stare but it's my mind crawling through hell Another day goes by that ain't mine Another day passing me by Caught in a loop But I ain't here to waste my time
