Sleep In the Heat

I was feeling a little bizarre

The day that I buried my family car

In the scrap metal 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 I'd 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

Six months after you moved in

And I should've 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 fucking vacation would come to an end

Maybe then you'd be normal again

Last week, when I went back to my apartment

You were looking so stoned

The day after Christmas, you acted so different

Just wanted to be on your own

So I brought 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 okay

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

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

Pitiful savings and loans

Just to see you again, but I still have hope
