It's 12:14 AM and I'm being unsensible because why would I be practical When I only get scolded when I'm somebody else
So I'll live awake and I'll write and I'll think about the world With folk as my soundtrack Lyrical banjos overlapping with my thoughts and mixing them together
And I'll have conversations in my head because lonliness isn't as bad as the lovers make it sound And I'll pretend that there's someone next to me But I don't even want to admit to myself who it is Let alone to you
And I'll pretend that I can do things I shouldn't and can't and I'll do them in my head alongside that person and we'll go places that don't exist because they might as well exist and I know you can't resist Because I decide that you can't and I make the decisions when it's 12:16 AM in Alonedom
And this is the most personal I've ever been And it's only because It's 12:17 AM and I'm being unsensible and writing and thinking about the world In a way that I wouldn't be able to in the sunlight And I'm admitting that there's somebody next to me That nobody else can see But they're not imaginary They're real for me.
