oh, the life I wanted didn’t work out well
a nice apartment where I go to hide
oh, unstable to be sure!
but, oh, the lies that I would feed to her
to make it work
big lie
of an impossible life
where sickness and sadness slip away
big lie
oh but it’s mine for tonight
a secret to keep myself at bay
for one more day
but now it’s my head
now it feels like more than I can do to stay in bed
and oh god every promise pressed
more mistakes onto my chest
and now there’s nothing I can do
because I can barely move
but I remember loving you
when everything was building to a
big lie
of an impossible life
where sickness and sadness slip away
big lie
oh but it’s mine for tonight
a secret that sleeping could escape
for one more day
