lyrics

I’m a
I’m awake
But the headache of a well-lit space
Makes me stay in my bed
All damn day

But I know that I got to
Get up and
Praise my God for the day
But I can’t find the strength

Oh no I am waking
As my woes are fading
As Lucy
Eases her reign

But I’ve gotten so lwo
I wonder why am I trying
When the results are
Always the same.

To be awake,
To be aware
That Lucy’s always there.

Oh to be awake,
To be aware
Of this God-damn pain
No one should bare

Oh why do I even try?
To claw myself out of my own mind
I’m so tired
Of Lucy’s fucking sight.

All these singular questions
Of “How do we even let this happen?
Oh dear God why me?”
Oh why?
Oh why?
Oh what will become of I?
Who am I without Lucy?

Lucy

The way Lucy always holds me tight at night
Oh I can’t let her go
It will just start another fight
But I gotta go and face myself
I gotta say no to this seductive hell
I ask my God again
I need help

To be awake,
To be aware
That Lucy’s always there.

Oh to be awake,
To be aware
Of this God-damn pain
No one should bare

I am trying
To claw myself out of Lucy’s binds
I gotta fight
I gotta survive

And all of these questions
Of “Why do I fight this?
Oh dear God, why choose me?”
Oh just fucking try
Just fight this for your life
You are not Lucy!
