Monster Burger and a $5 Beer

Stay offline as I'm looking for some peace of mind Take a drink and let my stomach settle Just as it calms the phone starts to ring prompting me to unravel Dim the lights just in case there's someone there outside How much longer till we reach the sunrise The moment that I've been left alone, everything's terrifying As soon as you're gone I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait Until you come home It's like the feelings elevated When you're not around The sameness And repetition Stay in The pipes sound like a stranger to me As I try to get some sleep Little bird got torn up by a stray, all red tinted feathers and both broken wings Mercy came in the heel of my boot, Such terrible things that your kindness can do Dedicated time for licking at your wounds can't undo the hurt when they open anew Mercy hangs by the heel of a boot when being alone only darkens the view It only comes when you're away And when you're there it makes me brave The clockwork steady in detail Destroyed then just as quick rebuilt The bird torn up Shallow breath and in pain The cat watching Coming back as I leave As soon as you're gone I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait Until you come home Awake every day Such a disheartening thing I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait Until you come home It's always too long As soon as you're gone, I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait and I Until you come home
