Nightmare

It's 7 a.m., and I've got nothing to say

Countdown the minutes, 'til you motor away

Every action has an equal or opposite reaction

You should write that on your hand

We sit so snug in the tension

Getting angry at things I don't trust myself to mention

Examining the intricate detail of the stain on the ceiling

Pleading with you to understand

That I'm not working for the government

And I'm not working for the man

And I am also scared of everything

But I think we should still make plans

You're here now you're gone, I watched everything change

I got new sheets my furniture got rearranged

And I tattooed a few things on myself

Just 'cause I am sleeping on new stains

Doesn't mean I don't lie awake with old pains

My new house, so big and so empty

Makes everything I own seem so damn small

I'm not working for the government

And I'm not working for the dole

And I also want to fix everything

But I think I'll help you stand tall

Push me up against the bedroom wall

And everything is so much better now than before

And why don't I feel any better than I did before?

Called me to talk about your nightmare

And I wanted to but didn't care

Called me to talk about yourself again

Called me to talk about yourself

Wanted to tell me about your dreams

The inconvenience of mine

Called me to talk about yourself again

Called me to talk about yourself

I'm not working for the government

I'm not working much at all

I am also scared of everything

And I think I'll help
