Hit The Switch Lyrics

Hit The Switch lyrics

I'm staring out into that vaccum again 

From the back porch of my mind

The only thing thats alive

I'm all there is



And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw

My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk

You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk 

'Til then you're invisible. 



'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense 

And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth

I'm completely alone at a table of friends

I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing



Well, I need a break from the city again 

I think I'll ship myself back west 

I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time." 

Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent 

she's under no obligation to indulge every whim 

And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives

And I keep forgetting it



And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe

Something lovely that bloomed from her beautiful mind

I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine

I have some where I die, I have some where we all die." 



I'm thinking of quitting drinking again

I know i said that a couple times

And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am

But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side 

And when I kneel at the toilet

And the mornings clean light pours in through the window 

Sometimes I pray I don't die 

I'm a goddamn hypocrite 



But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense 

There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live

And so I do what I do and at least I exist

What could mean more than this? 

What would mean more? 

Mean more? 

ohhhh
