Turning The Screw

(album: State Dogs: Singles (2017-18) - 2018)

I heard about how you're gone for good
I took it better than I thought I would
I am alive and awake
And I have no memory

Every day I wanna disappear
I wanna be in a coma for the rest of the year
I wanna watch my friends embrace my enemies

All around in the daylight
Everybody looks so much older
I was afraid you got too far along
I could see you in the distance
Looking over your shoulder
And I could tell you were already gone

I turn around and another two years slip away
Have a dream about a ticking clock that's
Getting faster and
At night when the day is dead
I think about what I would've said
And am I gonna get a chance to go back
Or am I turning the screw

I know you really want to go it alone
You tell me you can never go back home
I know you talk to the mirror when you don't want to look at me
Do you remember what you had before
And can you tell it isn't there anymore
And can you see that you are what you did not want to be

All around in the daylight
Everybody looks so much older
I was afraid you got too far along
I could see you in the distance
Looking over your shoulder
And I could tell you were already gone

I turn around and another two years slip away
Have a dream about a ticking clock that's getting faster and
At night when the day is dead
I think about what I would've said and am
I gonna get a chance to go back
Or am I turning the screw

Or am I turning the screw

I turn around and another two years slip away
Have a dream about a ticking clock that's getting faster and
At night when the day is dead
I think about what I would've said and am
I gonna get a chance to go back
Or am I turning the screw
