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
