Woke up from a fractured dream of a sleepless night
You woke up to face the nightmare of a brightening sky
An alarm in your head, ringing heart echoing with dread, bloodshot eyes
Woke up with the terror of the thought of going outside
But you've got a list of things you've gotta get done today
Of all the things that you should've done yesterday
Piling up, riling up with every delay
You know
It's worst
In the mornings
When it hurts
Without warning
You could stay cowering in your room
But the whole day's towering over you
Cause it's worst in the mornings
Bury your head in the pillow or in the sand
Bury your thoughts in the grip of your shaking hands
Just a dark silhouette trying hard to take it step by step, if you could stand
Then you can bury your heart in the mask of a smiling man
Oh sun oh son what have you done
Just another burning challenge to overcome
All your troubles, and your struggles you have to confront
You know
It's worst
In the mornings
When it hurts
Without warning
You could stay cowering in your room
But the whole day's towering over you
Cause it's worst in the mornings
Tomorrow can't come quick enough
This is worse than yesterday
And tomorrow you will say the same
And the day after until maybe one day
You'll face up to what's in front of you
And stop putting off your plans
And take a knife to your wrist so you don't have to spend
Another day in the life you can't fucking stand
But I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it
I can feel it spreading like a fungus
Across the whole of my existence
It's what I've become now it's who I am
I would try to resist it but I know I can't
It's spreading like a fungus
Spreading like a fungus
It's what I've become now
It's who I am now
Spreading like a fungus
Spreading like a fungus
It's who I am now
I would try to resist it but it's spreading like a fungus
