Blue and white on my nightstand
Tiny moon in a plastic shell
Printed name I can’t quite spell
But I know what you do to me
Dry tongue
Heavy television
Ceiling fan starts to bend and sway
Thoughts drip down in a slow delay
I’m sinking through the bedsheet sea
Diphenhydramine
Take the edges off my mind
Turn my bedroom into steam
Blur the numbers on the time
Diphenhydramine
Little ticket out of here
I’m awake inside a dream
You turn distance into smear
You were meant for a runny nose
Itchy skin and a wheezing chest
But I chase you when I can’t rest
Trade my worries for cotton clouds
Heartbeat walking a crooked line
Mouth like paper
My eyelids burn
Every shadow begins to turn
Into faces in thinning crowds
Diphenhydramine
Take the edges off my mind
Turn my bedroom into steam
Blur the numbers on the time
Diphenhydramine
Little ticket out of here
I’m awake inside a dream
You turn distance into smear
Twenty-five in the system
Counting sheep that stare me down (oh)
Hear my name in the air vent
See the wallpaper melt and drown
I know what you’re made for
I know what you take from me
Trading rest for a riptide
Trading clear for chemical sea
Diphenhydramine
Take the edges off my mind
Turn my bedroom into steam
Blur the numbers on the time
Diphenhydramine
Little ticket out of here
I’m awake inside a dream
Till the morning pulls me clear
