Away From Here

Just up the stairs from my workplace, baby . . .
I lay in bed, with no reprieve
It seems too often I find myself here
Guess I can't make myself see
Help me stay afloat, I'm falling . . .

In a Tokyo small apartment
I dragged a friend to stay with me
He's got an attitude of someone stuck in FPS games
A better attitude than me . . .
Help me stay afloat, I'm falling . . .

Down on my face in the city
Consumed by anguish and fear
Gotta get me a little bit of spare cash
Gotta get myself away from here . . .

It's six-thirty PM on a Tuesday
I stop into a manga store
I look at all the little lives of the all little ink people
While neglecting my own buisiness . . .
Help me stay afloat, I'm falling . . .

Down on my face in the city
Consumed by anguish and fear
Gotta get me a little bit of spare cash
To get myself away from all the things here . . .

I got angst beneath my skin, baby
There's a little angst in everyone's mind
Beneath the hope and fear and love and hate in everyone
There's insecurities to find
Please help me stay afloat, I'm falling . . .

Down on my face in the city
Consumed by anguish and fear
Gotta get me a little bit of spare cash, baby
To get myself away from here . . .
