6 AM

It's 6AM 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'm scared and that's the best that I can say I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family Pay it back for that one time I pushed your chin As 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 in you So we'll climb in that Buick 222 And I'll close my eyes The sun goes down each time I see the light I swear it's true And I've bowed this town 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'm 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'm 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
