sunstruck

I'm not tired, I'm just wired For late nights staying up Talking 'til the sun gets stuck Back up in the sky, reminding me I'm still alive I'd been looking for hope in a song, or A run or a deep breath, a punch or a two-step Beat, that could carry me Away from absurdity You'd been smoking lots, and living in your head 'Cause at least you'd know where you last left it I'm left waiting for you to wake up But, you're still dreaming of your next cup But it's never quite enough You pour it out, but nothing will come From an ever-flowing cup When you're too fucked to fill it back up Left you alone, or I did my best Not to water a garden, that didn't want to live There were, signs of life but it wasn't my land And I, had my own to tend and I'd forgotten it Well I played it back in my head, again and again Not to do any harm, just to try and understand Couldn't find a path, that made much sense Just some half-finished thoughts, and a couple new plants I went looking for myself by myself And it, wasn't close to easy, but it sure did help And my, heart kept keeping time Wondering where you were, and what was on your mind But it's never quite enough I can think it and write it, but it's hard speaking up I don't mind the sweet and wasted time The taste of your lips, and your smirk when you lie But I try, not to get in the way And I try, so hard I evaporate A year passes, and some seeds take root Your garden is growing, and mine's growing too And the work's not always fun But it's, better than staring at the weeds and the mud We left behind some pain To get to the magic thing
