Lyric

Quagmire

Tera Kira

"Ah... looks like I did it again today."

The alarm sound is like news from a distant land

Sinking deep into this ocean made of blankets

Cutting the anchor that people call "reason"

Just tracing the edges of a dream with my fingers

Sunlight stabbing through the cracks of the curtains

I cover my head with a pillow, "I didn't invite you"

Notifications keep piling up on my phone

I feel like I’ll lose if I give them a "Read"

A mountain of things that I really must do

But not a single thing that I actually want to

Only this warmth is the real thing, isn't it?

Hey, tell me I'm right

Spin, spin, the Trash-human Making Machine

Melting my thoughts, pouring in the sweet nectar

One step forward and you're already in the swamp

Sleep in the arms of this comfortable despair

"I'll do my best tomorrow" is a magic spell

Every time I chant it, today disappears

Towers of delivery containers piling up high

The convenience store bags are rustling and laughing

Just swimming along through the social media timeline

Flicking away someone else's happiness with my thumb

The hands of the clock are turning without mercy

I lied to myself saying "I’m still okay"

Throwing away my motivation, it's past its prime

Gulping down cold coffee in the middle of the night

The world outside is just way too bright

I feel like my outline is starting to fade

It's safe in here, nobody is watching

And I can't hear the voices blaming me anymore

Spin, spin, the Trash-human Making Machine

Making me spineless, pouring in all this love

I've long since forgotten how to find my way back

Just waiting for a gentle and quiet end

"Five more minutes" is the gate to eternity

Behind my closed eyelids, the dawn is breaking

I can't move anymore

I don't want to move anymore

The machine keeps spinning quietly

You should come over here too

"Goodnight."
