Sleep In The Heat

I was feeling a little bizarre

The day that I buried my family car

In the sacramental wrecking yard

And I've said so many goodbyes

In the 25 years that I've been alive

And I don't know why this one was so hard

And every time when I go back to my apartment

All I wanna do is get stoned

And I'm sick and tired of blacking out on my carpet

And waking up all on my own

So I brought you home

You started falling apart

6 months after you moved in

And I shoulda known from the start

That things would be different

It's not something that I can fix

If I could do anything you know I would

If this ******* vacation would come to an end

Maybe then you'd be normal again

Last week when I went back to my apartment

You were lookin' so stoned

The day after Christmas you acted so different

You just wanted to be on your own

So I bought you medicine went to the vet and

Cashed all of my savings and loans

But it was too late you were letting go

And nothing I say will make it OK

You just sleep in the heat and repeat

You're wasting away and nothing I do is gonna save you

I'm trying my best but you can't even

Look at me or talk to me or tell me what's happening to you

Yesterday I went back to my apartment

To see how you've been holding up

You hadn't been eating I thought you were sleeping but

You're not waking up

I want you to know that I'd spend every bit of my

Pitiful savings and loans just to see you again

But I know I won't
