You are sleeping off your demons
When I come home
Spittle bubbling on your lips
Fine white foam
I am young and I am good
It's a hot Southern California day
If I wake you up
There will be hell to pay
And alone in my room
I am the last of a lost civilization
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station
Rise above my station
But I do wake you up and when I do
You blaze down the hall and you scream
I'm in my room with my headphones on
Deep in a dream chamber
And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face
Hoping you don't break my stereo
Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without
And so I think about that
Then I sort of black out
Held under these smothering waves
By your strong and thick veined hand
But one of these days
I'm gonna wriggle off on dry land
