lyrics

4 A.M. Well, you know I’ll never sleep. Do I dare to dream? The cut is clean. Put the contract by the sink. It is not yet time to leave. Put the embers in the tall grass and place your weight on top of me. I'm spent. Put all my best lies out to pasture. Burn holes in all the leaves. Think fast because it's always fading faster than I'd ever let myself believe. Terrified of the past I left behind. Loose ends I'll never tie. Your face in storefront windows on the street. Who needs a drink? Peel the paint from all the door frames, leave but a little honesty. Blank stare. Tunnel vision in the passing train car. Why am I still standing here? Too stoned. I just blinked and lost entire plot points. Hail Mary another year.
