Lyrics: Right as I dip A toe in the abyss A knock on the door Saying, “Are you in there miss?” I stay quiet as can be I’m not here I’m where nobody can reach
Instead of live I was lying on the floor With Death crouching beside me And still got up for more Saying, “I’m done, after this” And to think I did believe it I’d gone where nobody can reach
Death said I’d called Not knowing that I did She said she wished I’d known That I’m still just a kid But knew I would call again So she’d mosey on back In case next time’s really the end
Instead of love He said, “Lie down in the dirt” I looked up at the night sky Wondering is this what it’s worth? The stars never answered back I got up when it was done And went where nobody can reach
So excuse me I’ll be opening my box Of old friend misery My secret treat To feel like myself again I won’t be here I’ll be where nobody can reach
I’m not here I’m where nobody can reach Instead of here I’m where nobody can reach
