about

A pretty accurate description of the process I go through most nights before eventually getting to sleep. Fear and self-loathing in rural Cockermouth!

lyrics

Nightshades

From about quarter to one
Until the early morn
Dogs are barking
Right down the street

The winter wind so warm
Brings a feeling forlorn
I lie back
My work complete

Pull the nightshade down
Block out the noise of the town
The only sound is your breathing
So sweet

Sweat moistens up my toes
Spiders crawl across my nose
The clock is ticking
Its steady beat

The radio on low
Well there's no place to go
I might as well
Admit defeat

Pull the nightshade down
Block out the fear of the town
The only reason to worry now
Is the rain

Well it's at moments like this
That you contemplate your life
Did you make the right choices
Did you marry the right wife?

If you spend too long
You can worry yourself wrong
But I think, man, you're doing okay
You're doing okay
