Hit the Switch-Bright Eyes

[00:00.474]I'm staring out into the vacuum again [00:05.477]From the back porch of my mind [00:10.470]The only thing that's alive [00:15.719]I'm all there is [00:21.218]And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw [00:26.464]My eyes have turned red as stop-lights [00:29.472]You seem ready to walk [00:31.713]You know I'll call you eventually [00:35.220]When I want to talk [00:37.483]Until then you're invisible [00:42.729]Cause there's this switch that gets hit [00:45.481]And it all stops making sense [00:48.224]And in the middle of drinks maybe the fifth or the sixth [00:53.474]I'm completely alone at a table of friends [00:59.471]I feel nothing for them [01:01.980]I feel nothing [01:03.727]Nothing [01:26.477][01:26.459] [01:26.963]Well, I need a break from the city again [01:31.723]I think I'll ship myself back west [01:36.722]I got a friend there she says, "hey anytime." [01:47.479]Unless the offer's expired [01:50.467]I have been less than frequent [01:52.717]She's under no obligation to indulge every whim [01:57.967]And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives [02:03.727]And I keep forgetting it. [02:09.480]And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe [02:14.477]Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind [02:19.976]I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine [02:25.728]I have somewhere I die. [02:28.472]I have somewhere we all die." [02:50.229] [03:19.727]I'm thinking of quitting drinking again [03:24.980]I know I said that a couple of times [03:29.726]And I'm always changing my mind [03:35.229]Well, I guess I am [03:40.713]But there's this burn in my stomach and there's this pain in my side [03:45.982]And when I kneel at the toilet [03:49.477]And the morning's clean light pours in through the window [03:54.714]Sometimes I pray I don't die [03:56.977]I'm a goddamn hypocrite [04:02.223]But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense [04:07.716]There is no right way or wrong way [04:10.715]You just have to live [04:13.226]And so I do what I do and at least I exist [04:18.970]What would mean more than this? [04:21.719]What would mean more? [04:23.226]Mean more?
