Sex and Reruns

Do you shake through the night
Tucked under the covers tightly
There's monsters in the shadows
And zombies in the street lights

And the sounds from the street
Like some terrible cacophony-
It cuts through the walls of your bedroom
And haunts your dreams

But don't you cry
I'll sing you a lullaby
But by and by it's wasted time
Take a spoonful to settle your mind
And I wish you “Goodnight”

Block out all your demons
With white noise, pills, and Jesus
And when I get down I just turn off the lights
I find friends and love with some
Online sex and reruns
And when I get down I just turn off the lights

When you're lost and confused
But you're too proud to face the truth
Spend up all your money on a band-aid
To cover the wound
When you suck at life
But you're much too scared to die
Embrace the sweet indifference with your brothers
And we'll march in time

Why so stressed?
Do you feel like the world's a mess?
Well grab what you can from the medicine chest-
And all your worst fears are suppressed
And just turn off the lights
