歌詞

Tick, tick

Tick, tick

Scrape across the wire

Boom

The day keeps taking

A bite from my name

Another task in my pocket

Another mark on my face

My hands stay busy

My head stays split

I answer one more message

And lose a little bit

I can feel it pulling

At the seams of my skin

I keep saying, "later"

But later won't begin

The screen keeps calling

The room gets thin

I set myself down

And it takes it in

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

Piece by piece

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

What's left of me

Mouth full of deadlines

Eyes full of grit

Whole week folded over

Like a bruise I sit with

I laugh at the ceiling

I nod at the noise

Every yes is heavy

Every hour gets void

I can feel it pulling

At the seams of my skin

I keep saying, "later"

But later won't begin

The screen keeps calling

The room gets thin

I set myself down

And it takes it in

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

Piece by piece

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

What's left of me

No grand collapse

Just a quiet wear

A coat I kept on

Till it turned to air

I don't need saving

I need to breathe

But the day keeps leaning

And it leans on me

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

Piece by piece

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

What's left of me

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

Till I go numb

The day keeps taking

The day keeps taking

And I come undone
