if i don't leave the house

(album: scared to go to sleep - 2022)

If I don't pick up my phone, nobody calls
If I take the new pills, then I won't feel at all
I got nothing to give and nothing to lose
I stopped reading the headlines 'cause it's all bad news

If I don't leave the house
I can stay stoned on the couch
Playing video games while the sound
Of my voice fades out

If I don't know what's wrong, I can't be ashamed
So I walk across the street not looking both ways
I keep my head down to stay out of the clouds
If I dig my own ditch, then it's me breaking ground

If I don't leave the house
I can stay stoned on the couch
Playing video games while the sound
Of my voice fades out
If I don't leave the house
I can stay stoned on the couch
Playing video games while the sound
Of my voice fades out

If I don't leave the house
I can stay stoned on the couch
Playing video games while the sound
Of my voice fades out
If I don't leave the house
I can stay stoned on the couch
Playing video games while the sound
Of my voice fades out

(If I, if I, if I don't say a word
If I, if I, then I'll never be heard)
