The Day I Wrote a Book

Lyrics

Today I wrote a book There was nothing to it And no one saw the point And then I had a look Across this empty room I saw you buried deep within The pages of your life You told me things were hard And there's so much left to do Between your school and work With your mom on your back While your dad's out having a smoke He hadn't answered me in so long A part of me grew worrisome He must've liked the book he read Or maybe it just fucked with his head Maybe I was born to sleep My dream's a fairytale Unlike any told before And while its late at night I dive into the life That I wish that I had made You make me who I'm not Draw me up in your mind A perfect picture I can't paint Between my lack of skills And the world's greyscale In which I seem to see my life He hadn't answered me in so long A part of me grew worrisome He must've liked that book he read Or maybe it just fucked with his head Read me, tear me Open me wide There's so many things So far in this life that I have tried I wake up every morning I crawl out of bed Your voice from the night before Still echoes in my head
