Favor & fiction

Measuring miles, stretching arms across the floor
It makes you wonder what you need all that carpet for
Leaving the patterns of your evenings beneath your feet
Existing on repeat

Faced to the glass from the inside looking out
A window's view from the inside looking down
Hiding your health from those around the house
The king and his crown, but the crown's hanging upside down

I made sure you were sedated
Agreed to carry you across town
Imagine you like new
Nodding off to the hum of a false alarm

I'm too uptight to believe half the things I hear
I'll spend a trip to intensive care
A waiting room with patients wearing thing
Breathe out and breathe in, prescribe a prescription
Favor and fiction

I made sure you were sedated
Agreed to carry you across town
Imagine you like new
Nodding off to the hum of a false alarm
