lyrics

i'm so weary all the time
can't seem to get a rest
life keeps getting in the way
of what i like to do best
living near the city
completely takes its toll
all this hustle and bustle
feels like a constant tussle
my bones are sore
and my head hurts
the constant sound of chattering
feels my ears like glass shattering
can somebody help me sleep?
so burnt out i'm feeling weak
try to live day to day
caffeinated on lattes

come live in the thick of it
there's so much you can check out
gigs and shows 24/7
it chewed me up and spat me out

constant stimulation
i can't seem to look away
i can't close my eyes
without the fear that i'm missing out
all the lights and white noise
have me wired so regularly
i'm half man and half machine
walking around like routine
i go out almost every night
i regret it every day
i find it hard to stay in bed
when i hear the buzz of my friends
city that never sleeps
has rubbed off on me
i take more care of my plants
than my own body

come live in the thick of it
there's so much you can check out
gigs and shows 24/7
it chewed me up and spat me out
maybe i'll move back home
take a break from all of it
but i know that it won't last
until i end up back again
