Bright Eyes — Hit the Switch

[Verse 1] I'm staring out into that vacuum again From the back porch of my mind The only thing that's 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 [Chorus] Cause there's 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 [Verse 2] 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 offer's 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 [Chorus] And each morning she wakes With a dream to describe Something lovely that bloomed In 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." [Verse 3] 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 there's this burn in my stomach And there's this pain in my side And when I kneel at the toilet And the morning's clean light Pours in through the window Sometimes I pray I don't die I'm a goddamn hypocrite [Chorus] 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?
