Alarm!!!!! from Rice Lake by turbochrist

sleep as if you can't feel your arm
sleep as if there is no alarm
shooting from the stem of your brain, screaming "watch out for harm!"
sleep as if you can't even feel
sleep as if the threat isn't real
sleep as you've been sleeping through every morning this past year
this alarm screams "get armed!" for the fifth time today,

operate like everyone else
obfuscate everything yourself
get acclimated to running away from the stacks on the shelf
all this weight is crushing my head
is it 'cause of what i've been fed?
or is it cause i'm lazy and weak just like joe rogan says

will this arm brush your arm for the last time?
and this alarm screams "get armed!" for the sixth time
and i just want one more last time but that's not how it works,
that isn't how it works, that isn't how it works
and now i will solve all my problems with sleeping,
the alarm goes off, i'm awake and i'm breathing
are you breathing at all?

(me saying "come on!" reversed)

just when i thought i had enough
the alarm won't shut the fuck up
just when i thought i was in luck

three people live in my head, they don't pay rent
and they scream so loud they fuck up everything,
pull the alarm, they won't care if it's false or not

but does it ever shut off?
just shut the fuck up
just shut the fuck up
does it ever shut off?
just shut the fuck up
just shut the fuck up
fuck off

will this arm brush your arm, alarm assaults
will you be harmed, and if you are, is it my fault?
and i don't even know what's an alarm and what is me anymore

is there even
any reason
for the frequent
high pitched beeping
and the squeezing
on my lung
am i breathing?
am i breathing?
am i breathing?
