Lyrics

I wake alone
In a woman's room I hardly know
I wake alone
And pretend that I am finally home

The room is littered
With her books and notebooks
I imagine what they say, like
"Shoo fly don't bother me."
I can hardly get myself out of the bed
For fear of never lying in this bed again

Oh christ, I'm not that desperate
Oh no, oh god. I am

How'd I end up here to begin with?
I don't know
Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh please don't barrage me
With the questions
To all those lovely answers
My ego's like my stomach
It keeps shitting what I feed it

Or maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore
Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home
And whispers
"You're in my web now
I've come to wrap you up tight
'Til it's time to bite down."

I wake alone
In a woman's room I hardly know
I wake alone
And pretend that I am finally home
