Here I am in my stiff bed
Here I lay my uncomfortable head
No place I’d rather be instead
Where else absorbs the tears I shed?

Snot crusts and blood dries
Nowhere else I’d rather cry
I call out to no one
Receiving no reply

Panic swells and tires out
As my eyes suffer from drought
I cascade into slumber
Relieving every doubt

Here I wake in my stiff bed
Here I lay my uncomfortable head
No place I’d rather be instead
Where else absorbs the tears I shed?
