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
