lyrics

plastic clock hung on the wall
tells me it’s time to rock & roll
but all the voices in my head
tell me it’s time to just be quiet

so I am hiding from fluorescents
I'm eating with my eyes closed
fending conversation with I-don’t-knows
and incoherent groaning

bandaid stuck against the tile
makes it near impossible to fake a smile
as the waitress walks by
it mocks my very being
and I am sweating through my t-shirt

can you see me through the ether?
I don’t care
or maybe I take offense
enlightenment is a gateway to condescension
to flipping off your friends

and you say,
“hey, you know, I mean no disrespect
but I’m better now
can you at least understand that?”

and she says,
“get used to playing in the dirt
because no one pays for happy
if they can pay to watch you squirm”

plastic clock hung on the wall
tells me it’s time to rock & roll
but all the voices in my head say,
“you have to think about your future”
