lyrics

Under flourescent lights
Ideas swam around her head
Her hands were cold as ice
She had a belly full of lead
She thought itd sure be nice
If somewhere somebody noticed

But like a moth to light
Blindly inspired by the chance
To face a lonely night
Under a brighter circumstance
She thought itd sure be alright
If somewhere anyone noticed

And then she said
I'm not one to run in circles
And you're not one to wait
As the nite turns into day
Can we just just let go now instead of treading water?

These flashing yellow lights
By now she's gotta know the drill
Rehearsed it every nite
Despite the common kind of thrill
No need to tell her twice
Pretending nobody noticed

Her ego trips as she falls apart again
There's no use closing her eyes
Cause once it stops it just starts right up again
And there's no escaping tonite
