Afternoon Lyrics

The TV lights the room
Like a strobe against the wall.
I've watched all afternoon without watching at all.
I'm thinking of you dear,
Every moment I'm awake.
I tie my hands with woe, I want to escape.
Did I make a mistake?

There's a demon on the loose.
He's hid under our floor,
Cause he saw you late last night,
Knocking on my bedroom door.
I have fluids in my blood,
Pumping through my body's veins,
And when I speak I don't make sense,
But believe me when I say.

The TV lights the room Like a strobe against the wall. I've watched all afternoon without watching at all. I'm thinking of you dear, Every moment I'm awake. I tug my hands with woe, now won't you escape? Did I make a mistake?

There's a demon on the loose. He's hid under our floor, Cause he saw you late last night, Knocking on my bedroom door. I have fluids in my blood, Pumping through my body's veins, And when I speak I don't make sense, But believe me when I'm seeding[?].

[worked out mostly from live/session versions. Not entirely sure about that last word but I'm pretty confident the rest is accurate.]

Lyric Correction

I think the second-last line to the first verse is probably "I tied my hands with rope, and I want to escape"

There's a demon on the loose. He's ahead, under, I'm sure Cause I saw him late last night, Knocking on my bedroom door. I have worries in my blood, Pumping through my body's veins, And when I speak I don't make sense, But believe me when I'm singing

This is what I've taken away from a rather clear studio session flac I have. When reading the posted lyrics above with the album cut, I couldn't quite make heads or tails of it but after repeatedly listening rendition it became obvious to me that the song is about coping with anxiety.
