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
