Wide Awake

about

A song I wrote.

lyrics

Wide awake
Try not to think about you
My mistake
Trying to live without you
Hennessy
We never drunk
Alls i've got
Left
Of
You


Helplessly
You rested on my lips
And set me free
I lost my mind
To sounds I'd disagree
Are even music at all


How we laughed
When your face melted
In that photograph
We let our bodies fall
Between the cracks
And had to climb through the floor

Noses bleed
You whispered in my ear
Less haste more speed
You put the needle on A Love Supreme
It ate away at my brain

Heart attack
We took a bump
And then
My world went black
Next thing I know
I’m lying on my back
You’re busy breaking my ribs

I awoke
And all I had left
Was the driest throat
I took a swig from an old can of coke
Swilled cigarette ash and flies
