about

In Loving Memory of Carly Thomsen.

lyrics

"Wake up" I say to myself
As I break the mirror with my nose
I need a constant reminder
Like a gash in my face
To try to find the joy in all of this

As I wake up for my shitty job
Too early in the morning
So I can pay for all of my destructive hobbies
As I talk to Carly
Never too early
And promise her we'll be closer someday

Wake up, I am moving forward
No more backward glances at demons over my shoulder
Wake up, today is not my last
I've got six more months of hell to look forward to

I was born with a shaky aim
A sixth sense of doubt
And a self-loathing brain
I find it easier to quit every day
I'm just so tired every time I wake
I try to get more sleep
But there's no time for that
I've got to make my sign
That says "Rocky Point or bust"
And walk along the highway with it

As I wake up for my shitty job
Too early in the morning
So I can pay for all of my destructive hobbies
As I talk to Carly
Never too early
And promise her we'll be closer someday

Wake up, I am moving forward
No more backward glances at demons over my shoulder
Wake up, today is not my last
I've got six more months of hell to look forward to

I'll stay alive for you
After three tries
What more can I do?
I'll stay alive for you
After three tries
What more can I do?
