jeff rosenstock - little blue pills lyrics

Loading...

little blue pills
bottles of codeine lying
on the shelf at dawn
sleeping soundly
with traffic gently humming
down the boulevard

i hate the morning light
because with every night
a little earlier
it seems to get too bright
it squeezes through the blinds
dissolves into my eyes
and i hate the sunny side

calling good friends
and calling total strangers
meet me at the bar
throw the card down
and leave the f-cker open
like i turned twenty-one

and when it’s dark inside
i’ll take a taxi ride
down to the eastern side
before it gets too bright
i pull the curtains down
i let my head spin round
and my ears ring over the sound
my ears ring over the sound

i upped the dosage and cleared my bank account ’til
everything was gone
now the circles around my eyes grow wider
the lights are always on
and every single night
i hold the covers tight
until i toss and turn
and see the creeping light
i turn things off and on and on and off and on

and i sleep for fifteen minutes like an infant ’til alarm clocks buzz
through the cracks of the windows from the neighboring apartment until i wake up
so i’ll slip next paycheck into bottles brown and amber ’til it’s all gone
so i’ll sleep next paycheck with the fitful f-cking terror ’til it’s all gone
