I'm breaking promises and breaking you apart
While this constant battle rages in my mind.
Over which path to take
How much of this is fate
And how much is just a waste of time

Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I wish that I could sleep.
But I'm wide awake.

Medicine bottle's laying empty on the floor
But I still can't make these headaches go away
More of a bastard than I've ever been before
I'd be better off just bashing in my brains.

All this feels like it's some other life
Doesn't it seem way too dark tonight

Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I'm writing this all down
And I hope it makes it easier somehow.

I think this song is about being bothered with how life has been in general, and trying to resort to pills to make things better, but it still doesn't really help, and you are just so agitated you can't get to sleep. It's a cool song, I lvoe Autopilot Off.

This is probably my favorite Autopilot Off song. Great, upbeat melody and interesting lyrics that I can certainly relate to sometimes. I think it's about being so stressed out and therefore losing a lot of sleep at night.

This is a quite interesting song I must say because i clicked it by accident and just decided to listen to it and hafta agree with the buddy above me seeing that the song is interesting lyrics that has an acutally upbeat theme toward it which still makes it even better. I don't know what else there is toward the song but I do agree the song is great.
