Fire safe cigarettes, caramel covered in chocolate
Coffee, alcohol, sticks of incense and a bracelet.
Cheap, generic trail mix, half a pack of matches
Dust and dirt and ashes
Napkins and a candle.
I choose to keep my eyes open
Cnd I choose to keep this coffee table full.
Tell me something useless, something more amusing
Than a plane crash in the mountains
Kidnapped kids and houses blowing up
Tell me something different, something I haven't heard yet
Edit the f*cking news strip, mister
Some of us haven't slept yet.
I choose to keep my eyes open
Cnd I choose to keep this television on.
I choose to keep my eyes open
So's I won't be sleeping alone.
Rock n roll magazines, papers, bowl, a bag of weed
Pencils, notebooks, my bare feet
Poems I wrote, and a mix cd.
I choose to keep my eyes open
Cnd I choose to keep this coffee table full
I choose to keep my eyes open
Cnd I choose to keep this television on
I choose to keep my eyes open
So's I won't be sleeping alone.
