Day after day

Bones that don’t fit
And a heart got rejected
The whites in her eyes
As the windows reflected
And locks on the door
And emergency exit
She’s paying for a mind that used to be so similar to mine

Waking and pacing
The halls that were painted
Colours that calm
All the thoughts that were making
You fall off the edge
Of the problems you’re facing
She’s paying for a mind that used to be so similar to mine

And in the light of day
Light only shines over problems you’ve made
And things won’t be the same
You’ll only get worse as the drugs hit you harder each day
After day after day after day after day

Signatures documents
People who say
That the woman in room 24
Is insane
She’s bruising her knuckles
So they look the same
Colour as her eyes when he told her that she was to blame

Speaking in riddles
And rhyming in tongues
The weight grabs a grip on her
Spine and her lungs
She stares into space
Where she thinks that she’s from
And the nurse calls her name
To give meds so her head can be numbed

And in the light of day
Light only shines over problems you’ve made
And things won’t be the same
You’ll only get worse as the drugs hit you harder each day
After day after day after day after day

Button up
Just shut it up
Just don’t say a word
If you say anymore
You’ll be straight for the hospital ward

And in the light of day
Light only shines over problems you’ve made
And things won’t be the same
You’ll only get worse as the drugs hit you harder each day
After day after day after day after day
