about

Written by Matthew Bisenius.

lyrics

Well I wasn’t sure exactly how I should feel
So I drank until I couldn’t feel at all
And when that anesthesia turned to loneliness
I went and shoved my friend against the wall
I said I can’t stand forever Dan, or even now
I need entertainment; I think we need to fight
I tripped over a log and I broke my nose
And that’s about when he called it a night
I put Whiskey for the Holy Ghost onto repeat
And I stumbled my way into sleep

Most nights when I get home from work its 2AM
And everyone in my house is in bed
So I sit by the front window with my guitar
Till the grenadine soaks the sky a morning red
I put my Waltz for Debby record on repeat
And I hope tonight I finally fall asleep

When the sandman stops by I dream I’m Prometheus
I’m chained up to the mountain; I’ve got a funeral wish
When those pink pills kick in I dream I’m Prometheus
I’m chained up to the mountain; I’ve got a funeral wish
There’s a fox that always shows up, he’s got scalpel blades for teeth
He’s hungry for a liver and he’s licking lips at me

Well I’m not exactly sure when it became morning
But all my long lost friends are wide awake
Let’s get coffee, let’s get bagels, let’s forget the rum
Let’s flood rivers, let’s make the mountains quake
Someone put on Crooked Rain and it comes to Fillmore Jive
I am stretched-out, saturated, incomplete
But I shout it from the bottom of these drunk and tired lungs
Why can’t I sleep? Why can’t I sleep? Why can’t I sleep?
