Why do I feel like you
Are laying awake in bed
It's six am
And I still haven't slept
I want to keep my eyes open
He told me if I feel hate
I should let it burn
I wish it away
At his lack of concern
Enraged by pain
Goes by the name Woe
I find my mind roaming
To dodgy street corners
A quick transaction
And I'm feeling alert
Should I rove down the path
I'd best avert
I will face the same consequence
As my mother
I don't mean to place flowers
On my own grave
But I'm infatuated
With her biggest mistake
Risking hypocrisy
Just to stay awake
I will learn
The hard way
I've circled around it
My entire existence
Phases and cycles
Different definitions
It's not uncommon, no
But it's not right
I have so much left to discover
Didn't you ever wonder?
It's the metaphor
Between my teeth
The blade of a razor
Tucked in my sleeve
The things I crave
But surely cannot eat
My bank statement will be short
There'll be nothing left to report
How ironic to explore
The same time you left
Your self-respect at the shore
Are laying awake in bed
