Hit The Switch Lyrics - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn - Bright Eyes

I'm staring out into that vacuum again 

From the back porch of my mind 

The only thing that's alive 

I'm all there is 

And I start attacking my vodka stab the ice with my straw 

My eyes have turned red as stop lights 

You seem ready to walk, you know I will call you eventually 

When I wanna talk till then you're invisible 

'Cause there's this switch that gets hit 

And it all stops making sense 

And in the middle of drinks 

Maybe the fifth or the sixth 

I'm completely alone 

At a table of friends 

I feel nothing for them 

I feel nothing, nothing 

Well I need a break from the city again 

I think I'll ship myself back west 

I got a friend there she says 

"Hey anytime!" 

Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent 

She's under no obligation to indulge every whim 

And I'm so ungrateful, I take she gives and forgives 

And I keep forgetting it 

And each morning she wakes 

With a dream to describe 

Something lovely that bloomed 

In her beautiful mind 

I say I'll trade you one 

For two nightmares of mine 

I have somewhere I die 

I have somewhere we all die 

I'm thinking of quitting drinking again 

I know I've said that a couple times 

And I'm always changing my mind 

Well I guess I am 

But there's this burn in my stomach and there's this pain in my side 

And when I kneel at the toilet and the morning's clean light 

Pours in through the window, sometimes I pray I don't die 

I'm a goddamn hypocrite 

But then night rolls around 

And it all starts making sense 

There is no right way or wrong 

Well you just have to live 

And so I do what I do and at least I exist 

What could mean more than this? 

What would mean more? 

Mean more? 

Oh oh oh, oh oh 

Oh oh oh, oh oh
