Wake up in the morning now
Muffins and coffee to get rid of that frown
Because we don't talk to each other before 6:30 a.m.
It's so hard to talk when you're this exhausted
All this separation, a border between two working horses
Wake up mid-afternoon to a pain you feel that comes on too soon
Because the way you feel runs through
Your veins like a headache through your blood
It's so hard to speak, when you feel this lonely
And I know now why you watch television all night
It's a kind of submission that feels all right
And I know now why you cannot sleep
Because you shouldn't have to work so hard to barely get you by
You wake up at midnight
Your coffee cools by the moonlight
All the mistakes that you've made rise up to meet your face
It's so hard to be alive when you ache on the insides
Insomnia will spit you out and leave you by the bedside
'Cause they're knocking at your door
They're sleeping in your bed
Putting fire with your pitchforks
And they wish that you were dead
'Cause there's a spectre in your bedroom
Running scared from the things that you might say
