We Know Drama

I've been laying here for three hours

it feels like a whole day and night 

passed this morning

polyester women throw themselves 

at men on tv, keeping me awake

and I'm seeing now that 

what once wasn't too long ago

and is older now than ever 

and I'm feeling like my life is almost over 

when it never even really started yet

and other people bare their souls on tv 

making me feel dull

and it shows me how all I do 

is fight for less than this

and I'm waiting for five hours to pass

when it was a better time

and I'm convinced people understood 

all that had gone on before them.
