lyrics

Every day I'm hoping for a sudden great escape
Or anything to make me feel alive
I work and then I sleep and then I work again some more
And when I'm home I never have the drive

When gray feelings settle in my mind
And life proves a bore

I'm keeping an eye on the door

Every day I watch somebody come and go without
Doubting anything inside their soul
An apathetic look gives way to moderate disgust
And the lights begin to blind me in a way

When laughter gets swapped for surprise
Leaving's apropos

I'm keeping an eye on the door

Every day I'm dreading this could come up to a head
I worry that this pain will never leave
If I was fabricating this I would've just instead
Invent something kinder for myself

And when confession is met with a sigh
My panic's come alive!

I'm keeping an eye on the door!
