Everyday I'm nodding off so I can spend a night a week awake
Well how much more can one body take?
But sleep's a way worse curse, its only taking my life away
Though anytime my energy is running out
You're the medication that palpitates my heart
And even though eventually I'll earn an early end
You start me up
You can start up (my life)
You can start up (my high)
You power my motion
When losing momentum, you can start it again
You keep me up (all night)
You keep me up (side up)
You teach me a lesson
The mania listens
You're a charger cable stuck between the bed and the wall
I can't reach you that easily
Eventually I'll dig you out
So I can feel elec-
tricity, then whatever you allow
Like apathy with manic bouts of thunderous glee
A catalyst to my shock immunity
So anytime my energy is running out
You're my charging station wherever I may wind up
Even if my conscience short circuits out
Unplug and plug me back so
You can start up
You can start up
You power my motion
When losing momentum, you can start it again
You keep me up
You keep me up
You teach me a lesson
The mania listens, to keep it going
If you keep up (to date)
If you keep up (with me)
I'll power your motion
Our eternal attrition
