lyrics

It's 6 am and the headlines read,
can you smell smoke, I can smell smoke,
it's way to early to shout fire and just walk out,
all I smell is bullshit,

I don't read the news anymore,
I don't read the news anymore,
crying wolf, getting paid,
crying wolf and getting paid

I'm having trouble, lifting my head,
as the clock turns, 6 am,
my bones ache through the sheets,
and the anxiety, comes back to me,
all at once.

And I gotta stop, eating straight from aluminum,
as if my life was some, end of days fantasy,
and I gotta stop, drinking so much liquid panic,
cause the rattling in my brain just won't let up,
it won't let up

I don't read the news anymore,
I don't read the news anymore,
crying wolf, getting paid,
crying wolf and getting paid
