lyrics

What should happen if my soul melts?
Should I drink it with mixers or pour it out?
Should I fill up the bathtub and just float
Or save it for later when the tank’s low?
‘Cause the Sandman stays away and
She don’t listen to the words I pray
You can see how I’m confused
What is a body to do?

Coffee and anxiety, can you tell me how I’m supposed to sleep?
I can pill my way down but then I can’t get up
So I brew some good life pour it into my cup
Coffee and anxiety, can we play nice all of us three?
Let me be sleepy or let me not fry
Let me be free like the doves of the sky

Muddy details of the day-to-day
Blame the secrets in strands of my DNA
Maybe fix it with nonsense and self expression
Maybe fix it with Rx and hour sessions
‘Cause the balance is delicate
I’ve got a yin yang soul with no zen in it
You can see how I’m confused
What is a body to do?

Coffee and anxiety, can you tell me how I’m supposed to sleep?
I can pill my way down but then I can’t get up
So I brew some good life pour it into my cup
Coffee and anxiety, can we play nice all of us three?
Let me be sleepy or let me not fry
let me be free like the doves of the sky

Something sits in my chest
Stretches out down to my toes
Circles round my head
Burns like a smell in my nose

I feel everything and nothing at all
I feel manic in the veins of my skull
I feel sloth in the rest of my veins
Manic thoughts but a sloth I remain

And anxiety, can you tell me how I’m supposed to sleep?
I can pill my way down but then I can’t get up
So I brew some good life pour it into my cup
Coffee and anxiety, can we play nice all of us three?
Let me be sleepy or let me not fry
Let me be free like the doves of the sky
