Lyrics

I can't sleep

I am experiencing insomnia.

Can't eat can't feel a damn thing

I have lost my appetite and emotional sensitivity.

Can't see can't breathe

I am struggling to see and breathe.

Can't wait for concrete

I am eagerly anticipating a solid, tangible surface like concrete.


Can't blink can't read books

I can't blink and engage in normal activities like reading books.

Can't think about the hypocrites in DC

I can't think about the hypocritical actions of politicians in Washington, DC.

I just wanna skate skate

I just want to skateboard.

Skate skate

I want to continue skateboarding.

And what should you care about

When you're only 19

Still want the same things

Still see the same me sTOP

The line "sTOP" could be a plea or command to halt the struggles or an intentional play on words with "stop."
