You wake up in the morning
Drag your head from a dream
Pull your body from bed
You take your coffee black
You fill your stomach on nothing
You smoke a cigarette
You look at your window
Your eyes seem to glaze
You hold onto your groin
As you look into the street
You wonder where you are
As you turn your nightmares off
You wonder why you look
You knew this day would come
You wish you could return
To someday in the past
You hide your fears deeper
You wish they were not there
You drink the trembling away
You hope the bottle is full
You understand what's happened
You wish it happened sooner
You saw the flash of light
Now you laugh at this quiet earth
