within this hour he'll be higher

maybe more than he has ever been

won't be his last time

he lights the fire to pretend

this is something that will never end

too tired to wait for tomorrow





what

takes him away

gives him breath to say

what

not a thing

just a lesson for another day



he hides in shadows from his silence

in the dark he fools himself again

won't be his last time

he faces nothing

that's his comfort in a place

that he has always been

when he comes down he can't remember







say when

say when

say when





time

he wants some

time

he needs some

time
