Finding Out
(c) mattralph 2012
Try to forget,
Cigarette as I fumble
Ash on the sheets
Watch it fall watch it crumble
Black on my face and there’s sweat on my pillow
I try hard to sleep
Close my eyes
Close the window
Finding out is the hardest thing
Sends your heart racing down, down, down
Lay me out
So I can’t feel a thing
Knock me out
Put me under
My mind repeats
Half asleep the door opens
My heart skips a beat like a crash in slow motion
A kiss on the cheek
You don’t speak
Keep your eyes low
A light on the street
Pulls away past the window
Chorus
I’m drowning in sand
I’m burning but I don’t feel a thing
I try to see all of the good things around me
I take myself out on the street to think clearly
I jump on the first bus I see
What am I doing
I crash
Head on glass
I don’t care
Just keep moving
