lyrics

spitting words into a screen and i am losing to a dream
i hear her voice is calling me to fade to black and suddenly
i'm halfway there to r.e.m. i try to fight i can't see them
the ones who place this weight on my own falling lids and closing eyes

consciousness snaps back to me, yet i'm still gasping anxiously
deflated lungs give me a scare as i lay frozen and aware
in this place of darkness dread where all these thoughts play in my head
a horror film for all to see, for those awake while i'm asleep

my breathing heavies and i am weak
my face is down headfirst in sheets
keystroke sounds are all i hear
my mind and thoughts begin to smear
i cannot tell what's coming next
the final word of endless text
i hear her voice is calling still
i don't belong in chapel hill
i'm half awake, but i still know
this was not the place to go

i miss my art, my love, my truth; but here i am a photobooth
in a world of books and phrases, their words are given endless praise
so i'm here and so i'll stay, just one last thing if i may
i ask myself this everyday, still the answer will not change

my breathing heavies and i am weak
my face is down headfirst in sheets
keystroke sounds are all i hear
my mind and thoughts begin to smear
i cannot tell what's coming next
the final word of endless text
i hear her voice is calling still
i don't belong in chapel hill
i'm half awake, but i still know
this was not the place to go
not a place for drawing fools
who don't belong in magic schools
that launch you off to salaries
instead of halls and galleries
so i'm here and so i'll stay
just one last thing if i may
i'm half awake, but i still know
this was not the place to go
