"Around The Sun" lyrics

"Around The Sun"

I awoke in the cleanest
Bedsheets on earth
In the dreaded morning
The air felt like a curse
Behind the counter with the drawer
We organize the bills
In the early of the morning
Took the car for a fill

What's the date?
I can't remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up

In the lines between traffic
Familiar and clean
In the hands of the headrest
I nearly fell asleep
Constant push of conditioned air
Dries my face and skin
I got distracted just chewing on my pen
I took the ink all in

What's the date?
I can't remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up

What's the date?
I can't remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up

You wouldn't survive
Without dependence on something
Drinks or big cigars
Drugs, prescribed or self-served
You wouldn't survive
Without a way to pass the time
Clothes or antique cars
Songs once heard then forgot

What's the date?
I can't remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up

What's the date?
I can't remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
