Diphenhydramine (Explicit)

Blue and white on my nightstand

Tiny moon in a plastic shell

Printed name I can’t quite spell

But I know what you do to me

Dry tongue

Heavy television

Ceiling fan starts to bend and sway

Thoughts drip down in a slow delay

I’m sinking through the bedsheet sea

Diphenhydramine

Take the edges off my mind

Turn my bedroom into steam

Blur the numbers on the time

Diphenhydramine

Little ticket out of here

I’m awake inside a dream

You turn distance into smear

You were meant for a runny nose

Itchy skin and a wheezing chest

But I chase you when I can’t rest

Trade my worries for cotton clouds

Heartbeat walking a crooked line

Mouth like paper

My eyelids burn

Every shadow begins to turn

Into faces in thinning crowds

Diphenhydramine

Take the edges off my mind

Turn my bedroom into steam

Blur the numbers on the time

Diphenhydramine

Little ticket out of here

I’m awake inside a dream

You turn distance into smear

Twenty-five in the system

Counting sheep that stare me down (oh)

Hear my name in the air vent

See the wallpaper melt and drown

I know what you’re made for

I know what you take from me

Trading rest for a riptide

Trading clear for chemical sea

Diphenhydramine

Take the edges off my mind

Turn my bedroom into steam

Blur the numbers on the time

Diphenhydramine

Little ticket out of here

I’m awake inside a dream

Till the morning pulls me clear
