LIGHTS OFF

I'm on too much coffee & not enough sleep
from all the expectations that I couldn't meet
They're trailin' behind me like a ball & chain

I'm not young enough to stop it, I'm too afraid to die

While my blindsight waves a last goodbye
All my phantom living still can feel the pain

So I tell myself that's it's alright (So I lull myself with 'It's alright')
And I sure ain't gonna fix tomorrow tonight
And yesterday's never gonna change (rearrange)

You turn the lights off baby (lady)
You turn the lights off sugar

There's six bored teens at the caffeine stop (doing the caffeine hop)
and two rock dudes down at the tattoo shop
holding up the wall with cool and cigarettes

They're talking bout leaving but they ain't left yet
They're talking bout starting but they can't get set
And all this talking hasn't got them anywhere yet
