lyrics

At the end of my energies
When activity slows
I’m aware that you’re there for me, Doom Scroll

So I slide down your window pane
And I swallow you whole
And I’m lost in the dross again
Doom Scroll

In the arms of my partner
In the heart of my home
In the eyes of my children
I scroll alone

I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone

In the breaks between broadcasts
In the moments of peace
The confusion of waking
And the calm before sleep

I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone

So I sink into silence
And I reach for the phone
And I think about nothing
Doom Scroll

I renounce conversation
I relinquish my hold on this whole situation
I scroll alone

I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone
I scroll alone

When the day’s work is over and the evening begins
I refuse to think clearly about anything

So I wrote to say thank you for all your support
You prevent me from being left alone with my thoughts

Yeah, thank you for all of your help
You save me from being alone with myself

In the arms of my partner
In the heart of my home
In the eyes of my children
I scroll alone
