In complete darkness

i lose balance

i'm getting dressed you're still asleep

think you're a fake

at not being awake

i reach the door your breath has changed

i do not stop

turn all the locks

don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait


the birds and cars

speak up when they reach morning

i know some day

the spring will return again


i'm returning to

a small green room

at 5:15 the sky has changed

from black to blue

still hardly day

these brooklyn stars are small and strange

i'm under roads

they're going home

next to statues of saints of snow


perfect plans cannot be made

i hate fights about merging on to interstates

i think people should realize

there are other lanes

not just theirs for only them

to get them home again

to go home again


in complete darkness

i lose balance

i'm getting dressed you're still asleep

don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait

there's no one there for you to save


i know some day

the spring will return again

the birds and cars

speak up when they reach morning

i'm not gone yet

i want more of everything
