Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning

Reflecting on waking up in the morning.

I can hear somebody calling me

Sensing a call or responsibility.

Never really that important to be bothering my sleep

Expressing that the call is not significant enough to disturb sleep.

Entering two minute warning

Describing a critical moment approaching.

Just when I feel myself falling back down

Feeling a downward spiral just before a critical moment.

Time is looping and restarting

Perceiving a sense of time repeating or restarting.

Sun come get me on my feet

Welcoming the sunrise to start the day.

I think I'm gonna have to call you back

Contemplating the need to end a call or conversation.

Think I'm gonna have to call you back

-

Think I'm gonna have to call you back

-

Think I'm gonna have to call you

-

When I wake up in the morning

Repeating the morning routine, expressing a desire to forget someone.

When I wake up in the morning

-

When I wake up in the morning I'll forget about you completely

-

I think I'm gonna have to call you back

Reiterating the decision to end a conversation and not remember it.

Think I'm gonna have to call you back

-

Promise that I don't remember that

-

Think I'm gonna have to call you back

-

Cuz when I wake up in the morning

Feeling bothered when waking up.

Everything just starts to bother me

Expressing frustration with things bothering as the day starts.

Like does it always have to feel like someone ripped the life out of me

Questioning the constant feeling of emotional drain.

When feeling nervous is a pastime

Describing nervousness as a common experience, emphasizing variety.

And each is different than the last time

-

It starts to feel like all my insides want to crawl right out of me

Feeling overwhelmed, with a desire to escape from oneself.

And these thoughts are not my own

Experiencing intrusive thoughts that don't feel personal.

Lights are on but no one's home

Feeling disconnected, as if physically present but mentally absent.

So I have to wait right here

Waiting for a resolution or change.

Let them cut my face from ear to ear cuz I'm tired of being so insincere

Expressing a desire for authenticity, even if it involves pain.

I wish everything would disappear

Wishing for escape from overwhelming emotions.

Cuz this lonely monster's calling me

Acknowledging a personal struggle represented as a "lonely monster."

And I have to defeat it

Committing to overcoming the internal struggle.

I have to feed it

Recognizing the need to confront and address personal challenges.
