[Verse 1]
I swallow the night
with a paper cup of sleep
My eyelids go heavy
like stones in a black sea
The carpet turns to water
the hallway starts to bend
I watch my own shadow
leave before the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a vacation?
Or a fracture in the room?
My hands feel borrowed
My pulse has lost the tune
[Chorus]
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
Maybe it's the medication
Maybe it's the medication
I keep on falling
through the ceiling of my brain
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
[Verse 2]
A clock on the dresser
smiles with broken teeth
My name sounds distant
when it crawls up from me
The ceiling leaks confession
in a violet stain
I laugh at the mirror
then it laughs back the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a vacation?
Or a fracture in the room?
My hands feel borrowed
My pulse has lost the tune
[Chorus]
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
Maybe it's the medication
Maybe it's the medication
I keep on falling
through the ceiling of my brain
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
[Bridge]
If I wake up
leave the lamps on low
If I vanish
let the blackbirds know
This sweet disaster
with a silver grin
Pulls me under
and starts again
[Final Chorus]
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
Maybe it's the medication
Maybe it's the medication
I keep on falling
through the ceiling of my brain
Is this a vacation?
Or a hallucination?
