In The Morning We're Making Waffles

I can't find a reason to get out of my room
The sun is out but I don't care 
So I'll just sleep through the day

The red hot stove
Isn't hot enough 
To burn me back into reality
I can't feel anything anymore

I swear I'm not as bad as it sounds
The sun is out but I don't care
I've been burying my issues 

Salvation is unlikely
I'm just a man made of flesh
It reminds me of reality is cruel
I'm useless without help

This isn't healthy for my brain anymore
The sun is out but I don't care 
I'm ripping at the seams can you get help?
