Coffee Again Songtext
von Jon Fuller

7 AM, coffee again
The fluorescent flickering
Drumming the beat of your latest migraine

Clothes on the floor, same as before
Pick up a shirt from the pile in the corner
A wrinkled relic of a night you half-forget

You curse the sun for sleeping in
As you crawl into your public skin
Your creature comforts fading
With the sight of unwashed dishes
And you′re halfway out the door

Waiting for the train, standing in the rain
See too late a forgotten umbrella
Your best defense from an awful morning


It's no surprise, averted eyes
Everyone here′s a total stranger
Thrall to the rhythm of a life they can't control

And what's the time? Too numb to tell
You power on your pocket hell
The screen illuminating every line you′d never noticed
Only appearing when you frown

And your body knows you′ve been locked in a cycle
A rinse cycle, a sleep cycle
Everybody knows you here in purgatory
And they've all got the same story
If you make a run for it you will regret it
So you better just forget it
Your dreams will be waiting for you tonight

You throw your shirt back on the floor
So you know that you′ve worn it before
You hug a second pillow close
And wish that it was someone
You know you won't dream tonight


7 AM, coffee again
