Nine cups of coffee, but my eyelids are still heavy
And my mind is racing too fast to fall asleep
And I’ve forced myself into a purgatory
Of staying up through the night
‘Cause I don’t trust myself to get out of bed on time
And the candle flickers most in the sunrise light
Right before it dies
Oh, now, heavy eyes
Don’t keep track and then act surprised
When things move out of place for you
When our arrangements to rendezvous fall through
I’ve tried so many goddamn times
To keep my mind and spine aligned
But there’s somеthing persistent pushing me to failurе
In routine bouts of trash behavior
And the candle flickers most in the sunrise light
Right before it dies
Oh, now, heavy eyes
Don’t keep track and then act surprised
When things fall out of place for you
When our arrangements to rendezvous fall through
Oh god, heavy eyes
Keep me stable, keep me bright
A steady pace still fluctuates
It’s nothing new for you, oh heavy eyes
Oh, heavy eyes
Now it’s all a blur, a small wrinkle in time
These words come out so trite and contrived
It’s absurd, a fu*king tear in my mind
But this will begin to make things right
Oh, this will begin to make things right
