“hit the switch”

i’m staring out into that vacuum again
from the back porch of my mind
the only thing that’s alive, i’m all there is
and i start attacking my vodka
stab the ice with my straw
my eyes have turned red as stoplights
you seem ready to walk
you know i’ll call you eventually
when i wanna talk, ’til then you’re invisible

cause there’s this switch that gets h-t
and it all stops making sense
and in the middle of drinks
maybe the fifth or the sixth
i’m completely alone at a table of friends
i feel nothing for them
i feel nothing, nothing.

well i need a break from the city again
i think i’ll ship myself back west
i’ve got a friend there she says,
“hey anytime”
unless that offers expired
i have been less than frequent
she’s under no obligation
to indulge every whim
and i’m so ungrateful, i take
she gives and forgives and i keep forgetting it

and each morning she wakes
with a dream to describe
something lovely that bloomed
in her beautiful mind
i say, “i’ll trade you one
for two nightmares of mine,
i have somewhere i die,
i have somewhere we all die”

i’m thinking of quitting drinking again
i know i’ve said that a couple of times
and i’m always changing my mind
well i guess i am
but there’s this burn in my stomach
and there’s this pain in my side
and when i kneel at the toilet
and the morning’s clean light
pours in through the window
sometimes i pray i don’t die
i’m a godd-mn hypocrite

but then night rolls around and it all starts making sense
there is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
and so i do what i do, and at least i exist
what could mean more than this?
what would mean more, mean more?
