In the Morning

IN THE MORNING

I don't wanna be here anymore, eyes on the floor, watching dust collect upon the metal of the vents

And insects marching, diligent to enter where they can

I wanna be just like them, another ant with one persisting drive to find a better source of sustenance

I always find myself pursuing all the things that drag me further down

One more round of apathy for now

Just to help me push it all back down

I'm back down, eyes blacked out, can it pass now?

I'm counting sheep to fall asleep but they surround

Now the teeth begin to gnash and tear away, I am left to wither down

My own mind's beating back time, again forever stuck inside a thought that I can't seem to figure out

Another narrative reduced to monochrome and I can't seem to hear the sound

One more girl to kill it all away

Just one night and everything's okay

And in the morning I can tighten up, clean it up

Forget my worries and I'll brighten up, I'm on top

I know my mind has just been out of line

I'll see the sun and I know I'll be fine

And in the evening I can see my friends

I'll come around and wear a smile again

And I won't let it go away this time

No, I won't let it wash away this time

Right?
