6 AM

It's 6 AM, I'm shivering beneath the bed sheets

The pillowcase fell off last night when I held it in my arms

I read short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me

Your breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark

And oh you whispered quiet

Making friends beneath the scenery of a sun cracked open sky

Beneath the dark lids of your eyes

And you were skipping stones and I was still alone

When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family

To pay back for that one time I pushed your chin

All this hope I hold just buries its evil in me out of sight

But it slips through a hole in my side

I've seen another of me and you

So we'll climb in that Buick down 222

And I'll close my eyes, the sun goes down each time I see the light

I swear it's true

'Cause I've bowed down with this crown watching old dogs age without whimpering

And I find it hard to say that I am strong

But I'll be sure with each passing breath to read you stories that are glimmering

With the light that reflected off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit the ground

And oh you whispered quiet

Making friends beneath the scenery of a sun cracked open sky

Beneath the dark lids of your eyes

And you were skipping stones and I was still alone

When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

All we are is all we are and still I will become

All I am and all I thought I can't recall because

And oh you whispered quiet

Making friends beneath the scenery of a sun cracked open sky

Beneath the dark lids of your eyes

And you were skipping stones and I was still alone

When I turned off the light, scribbling onto sticky notes

I am scared and that's the best that I can say

I'm still tugging on your hand, like when I was innocent

We used to only lie when we needed sleep
