Woke up
Checked my phone
Same three apps
Same gray tone
Coffee gone cold on the stove
Guess I’m late
Guess I won’t go
I don’t care
Or that’s what I say
Throw my thoughts in the ashtray
If it all falls down
I’ll just sit and stare
Tell myself I don’t care
I don’t care
At least I pretend
Scroll right past it again
If it all burns out
I’ll just watch the glare
Mumble that I don’t care
Unread texts
Blue and bright
Type
Delete
Lose the fight
Friends make plans
I leave ’em dry
Blame the clouds
Blame the sky
I don’t care
Or that’s what I say
Throw my hopes in the ashtray
If it all falls down
I’ll just sit and stare
Tell myself I don’t care
I don’t care
At least I pretend
Call it armor
Call it defense
If it all burns out
I’ll just watch the glare
Whisper that I don’t care (I don’t care)
