lyrics

The clock strikes eleven
And as I put out the light
This’ll never feel right

‘Cause as I lie twisted in my bed
There’s gap to my right
Cold turkey for the night

You know I do feel quite silly
In my position of unrest
Lying there in silent protest

But I’m not the martyr of love
Who was nailed to his bed
Am I a fool with wires loose in his head?

Cause it seems so ridiculous to lose my mind
When I lose you to the night
A constant reminder of my debt to the light

So put me into a cell
Lock me in with my kind
You’ll see our love isn’t blind

As I twist inside my sheets
A giant pendulum swings
To the dance of different routines

And like a cancerous waltz
It’s taking over my brain
And it succeeds at it’s relentless campaign

So as long as you breath
I’ll have my rest cut out
Unless your lying right inside my bed
Though I never signed over my sleeping rights
It’s a lawless joy
Not a flawless ploy
It’s cold turkey for the night

As morning comes
And my fears have ceased
Concealed by a blanket of peace

My rational comes about
To gain the upper hand
A soldier reclaiming the land

Still there’s no amount of insight
No cure for relapse
To keep me from persistent collapse

But as a man madly in love
Only one view will stay
It’s worth it day after day
