In the morning I’ll be better Surely a brighter day will come and a darker one still. In the evening I’ll love you again Swear it’s the last time and come crawling back tomorrow. The days are crashing into one another heavy and swift Leave me bleeding at the end. I spin words into pretty phrases to make it stop and it works for a while. Take another breath swallow the entire nighttime hold it in my lungs Nothing left for when the sun comes up.

I Have Been Awake for Four Days
In the morning I’ll be better Surely a brighter day will come and a darker one still. In the evening I’ll love you again Swear it’s the last time and come crawling back tomorrow. The days are crashing into one another heavy and swift Leave me bleeding at the end. I spin words into pretty phrases to make it stop and it works for a while. Take another breath swallow the entire nighttime hold it in my lungs Nothing left for when the sun comes up.
