lyrics

i can't read a book
i can't take a phone call and wait
i can't do my work
can't drink coffee out on a date
my mind is rotting away
take a tab of acid and get pushed into a cave
said, "be a good sport, it'll all be okay"
running blind and crawling through the haze

i don't have the time
but i've been trying to
keep humming on my hymns
today's a new beginning
you know my head's been caving in
i'm fine, i'll hum my hymns

okay, phone rings, i don’t pick up
gotta a little cup of coffee i’ve been tryna take a sip of but
mm, i just wait
got a little food so my hands don’t shake
i’ve been anxious babe, hummin’ my hymns
got a little time that i ain’t tryna spend
on the floor of my room consumed by the thoughts
and all the conversations that did involve yours truly
ooh i’m just trying to
get along, i’ve been gone it’s true
but if i can find a little time to slow down, i’m cool
yeah it’s cool

i don't have the time
but i've been trying to
keep humming on my hymns
today's a new beginning
you know my head's been caving in
i'm fine, i'll hum my hymns
