about

All music written and performed by Rocket Ship.

lyrics

I fell asleep on the drive home
and dreamt that I was two days younger
when I felt control over the expectations
that became the shovel I used to dig my hole.

And I dig down
until I am underground
and I take one deep breath in and out

And I stay awake now
because I hate the thought of waking up to do it all again
And I self-sabotage until its all I do,
And from below I watch your branches
bud and bloom.

And I fell asleep on the drive home
and dreamt that I could turn back time
so I could bother because you don't bother
to set alarms when your gone
and I'm gone, oh I am so gone

But I stay awake now
because I hate the thought of waking up to do it all again
And I self-sabotage until its all I do
And from below I watch your branches
bud and bloom.

What if I said I keep my eyes wide open
Like the nights when i stayed up wasted.
A time before I was absent.
Back when it all made sense.
I've been trapped inside my head so long,
I just want to leave.
