euphoria is knocking on the window
can i come in?
a dark green river and suddenly you're greeting someone

you know this feeling, well
being awake has never been harder
you are so tired, just trying to make it to a tomorrow you can't find

the door handle is wet
a coffee stain on the floor
something doesn't fit together
around you someone is tapping
the table, tipping his hat,
as to greet

you reach into the bag and
pull out yellow candy
the world turns yellow, smells like citrus
you want to throw up
you put it back, look in the bag
no yellow candy
you reach in to take more

you feel uncomfortably warm in your skin and
want to break out
you are see through
trying to feel something again
you pull out yellow candy

you go to sleep for four hours and
when you wake up you feel
yellow candy as if you haven't slept at all

then you're suddenly looking for someone
a lose grip on a wrist
you want to scream because
yellow candy is all you can taste
and you bury yourself under the covers
to keep that drowning feeling outisde,
but you keep drowning in feathers

you feel like it's two years ago
because people are talking, but
you don't know what they're saying

something about yellow candy
catches your attention and then
you're running away
