Today Songtext
von Jasper Sloan Yip

Well, I can′t get out of bed
So I'll sleep all day instead
Oh, and bad dreams run through my head
About today and days ahead
The city shakes and breathes
Around me as I sleep
Oh, and I′ll make my make-believes
As my ceiling creaks with feet

I could leave this room, but I won't
'Cause it′s best, I suppose
You see, I do and I don′t
Believe in my ability
To follow through with all the things
That I implied that I would do
If I had Will and I had Eve
If I had stomach for the truth


I'd lift my coat and tip my cap
And chase the dreams that I once had
But now and then I lose the plot
And waste the time I haven′t got
To spare and sit and stare at nothing
God, I need to feel some something
But no, I don't chase paper
Because it gives me the blues

But I work hard every day
And I get closer to the truth
By and by, it all subsides
To different shades of black and white
Like pages I can hide behind
And books I read to pass the time
But more and more now I can see
That I still make my make-believes
But what a mess, my memory
Does lack reliability

So I write these songs about myself
′Cause when I feel down it often helps
I pay my bills, I cook my meals
I take my time, I drag my heels
And I've come to know real silence
In this old and empty house
And I′ve come to learn of all these things
That I can live without


But for every hill that I've conquered
Oh, and friend that I've let go
The love I′ve known and lost
Makes me miss everyone that I know
