lyrics

disarm the alarms

to be sleeping by the phone
waiting for an answer:
maybe this is madness defined.
vacuous, your bones.
emptiness, a cancer.
maybe now our marrow resigns.

to be staring at that phone,
silent, this disaster.
maybe someone cut off the line.
dead without a tone,
punch the numbers faster.
maybe you first have to hit nine.

i’m hanging up.
you’re hung over.
i’m giving up.
could this get older?

you’re not alone
but it feels like no one’s calling.
once made of stone,
the walls have been caving in.
you’re not alone
if you don’t mind recalling.
reaching out for you.
you’re not too far gone.

to be cursing at that phone,
blame it on that bastard
maybe you should see as a sign.
circled in a room
but i’m still in your corner.
maybe after all we’ll be fine.
