Lyrics:

Right as I dip

A toe in the abyss

A knock on the door

Saying, “Are you in there miss?”

I stay quiet as can be

I’m not here

I’m where nobody can reach

Instead of live

I was lying on the floor

With Death crouching beside me

And still got up for more

Saying, “I’m done, after this”

And to think I did believe it

I’d gone where nobody can reach

Death said I’d called

Not knowing that I did

She said she wished I’d known

That I’m still just a kid

But knew I would call again

So she’d mosey on back

In case next time’s really the end

Instead of love

He said, “Lie down in the dirt”

I looked up at the night sky

Wondering is this what it’s worth?

The stars never answered back

I got up when it was done

And went where nobody can reach

So excuse me

I’ll be opening my box

Of old friend misery

My secret treat

To feel like myself again

I won’t be here

I’ll be where nobody can reach

I’m not here

I’m where nobody can reach

Instead of here

I’m where nobody can reach
