When you’d rather binge anything than face the truth.
"Can’t Stop Watching" is about the denial phase of heartbreak. Staying up way too late, clinging to the story, pretending the ending hasn’t already happened.
Because if the show keeps playing, maybe the pain can wait until tomorrow.
Lyrics
woke up with both my arms asleep
fuzz on my tv and my teeth
wrinkled shirt
recent scars
window open, fight the clouds
empty heart’s been fraying up the couch
scroll the tiles don’t give a damn
strung me up on ecytalopram
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
stay up to the end
or I’ll wake up with a bad taste in my mouth
alone in this god forsaken house
stay up till the end
black nails are picking at the scabs
red lips are picking up the tabs
grimy dive
raccoon style
graveyard shift, shut the door
mascara’s writing on the wall
jealousy at my fingertips
stuff my face so it won't melt
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
stay up to the end
or I’ll wake up with a bad taste in my mouth
alone in this god forsaken house
stay up till the end
laying there like an empty bottle
i try but it’s not getting easier at all
crushed and wilted like a trampled petal
i’m pining, I’m whining, I’m crying,
i’m tasting metal
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
can't stop watching
stay up to the end
stay up to the end
or I’ll wake up with a bad taste in my mouth
alone in this god forsaken house
stay up till the end
stay up till the end
stay up till the end
oh
i'm waiting
i'm hoping
i can't stop watching
stay up to the end
