Free Coffee – Riley Pearce

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
I think I’ll throw up anyway
I’m only here for the free coffee
Please don’t try and make me stay

I can feel it
I tried to not feel anything

I must’ve blinked ’cause they’re all getting married
What happened to nineteen?
Let me disembark the ride, and
Rejoin the line
To before I started panicking

I can feel it
I tried to not feel anything

So can we tap the brakes?
Before I suffocate
I’m not used to
Feeling this way

We ate dinner on the floor on Friday nights
On a patch-ridden yellow rug
Watching the same three movies on repeat
Until they warped or gave up

Then came the friend I was looking for
I drew him from the same page
One on one until one of us won
But your whole team, they moved away

So can we tap the brakes?
Before I suffocate
I’m not used to
Feeling this way

I feel it
I feel it all
I feel it
I feel it all
I feel it
I feel it all
I feel it
I feel it all

I’ve sunken down
To the kitchen floor
This pain in my chest
Came back for more
It’s the ambulance scene
From when I died in my dream
All the doors are closing on me
But you can’t hear me scream

So can we tap the brakes?
Before I suffocate
I’m not used to
Feeling this way
So can we tap the brakes?
Before I suffocate
I’m not used to
Feeling this way
