[Verse 1]

The floodgates opened and there was a river

Flowing through me with a dull precision

It left me feeling nauseous

And handcuffed by a lack of ambition

Drugs and daytime television

Dividing like light through a prism

A thousand individual parts I couldn't process

[Chorus]

And I was rotting in the backseat

I was trying to find

New words for the same repeating lines

[Verse 2]

And after the smoke cleared

Opened my eyes and I was still here

I was certain I was a goner

It should have been me on the tablе

With the wires and the cablеs

I'll do anything it takes to stay here

Just a little while longer

[Chorus]

And I was lying in the backseat

I was trying to find

New words for the same repeating lines

And I was lying through my teeth

Always saying it would be alright

Still feeling your fingers on my spine

[Bridge]

And when the floodgates closed

And I was back in my darkened home

Feeling more depleted than I ever have

But instead of crying

Whenever I think of dying

It only makes me laugh

And how can I explain it to you

When I don't understand it myself?

[Chorus]

And I was lying in the backseat

I was trying to find

New words for the same repeating lines

And I was lying though my teeth

Always saying it would be alright

Still feeling your fingers on my spine
