Envy and Other Sins - Morning Sickness

★ van

You wake and you dress

Wash the dirt from underneath your fingernails

It's a system and it seldom ever fails

To kill these moments before you race to face the day

You sleep on the train,

you get hypnotised by the morning rain

As the caffeine in you belly wears away

You're not sure what you're doing,

but you do it all the same

You guessed, I'm impressed

It's all a mistake,

and the clock keeps ticking away

Every moment that I waste,

it's all a mistake.

The sun came up with a grudge

against the puddles in the yard

And we trudge with certainty towards the car

And look up in the mirror

to see the wreckage that we are

The office awaits,

and you never can afford to let it down

So the pressure in your head begins to mount

Cuz we're caught out by the traffic

on our way across the town

It's all a mistake,

and the clock keeps ticking away

Every moment that I waste,

it's all a mistake.

It's all a mistake,

and these people keep chipping away at me

And I don't have what it takes,

it's all a mistake
