lyrics

What do you do when the chain on your ankle
starts dragging you down
deeper and deeper
and the only person who
dove in to reach you
has weights tied to his wrists
And he holds you so sweetly
you can't bear to tell him
that you both are gonna die here
you both are gonna lie here
cause it's hard to wake up
it's hard to wake up

What do you do when you're the pea under the mattresses
and you feel so suffocated
and it's dark and unpleasant
and the only person who
would even notice you're missing
is sleeping on the box spring
softly breathing, deeply dreaming
You're feeling so lost, dear
You can't even scream here
that you both are gonna die here
yeah you both are gonna lie here
cause it's hard to wake up
it's hard to wake up

What do you do when you're lost in the dark city
and with every path you choose
the night grows deeper and deeper
and the only person who
is even trying to find you
has cracks in his glasses and an empty book of matches
You're not ready to love him
he's just an obstruction
and you both are gonna die here
you both are gonna lie here
cause it's hard to wake up
