The darkest way to start the day

An empty can and a plan of escape

With an almanac glued to your side

White sneakers walking off the grass

To step on the driveway and stand on the cracks

Holding a weathervane high

It's half past six before

Channel eleven broadcasts their report

Five foot ten brown hair with brown eyes

In moquette seats on twenty two

She draws out her dreams and reminds herself that they're true

Cause barking dogs never lie

She's mouthing out

I'm lost and I don't need finding

I know but I need reminding

Flesh and blood is nature only

You haven't yet but you'll see my best

I don't want to die only to take a rest

I'd rather be alone than lonely

There's acid in my stomach

And water in my mouth

You promised that it was all for me

But it was only for yourself

From here it's a wonderful view

Four walls and a bed with no room for two

The stock photos in the frames will be my family some day

But for now this mess is mine

And when I clean it still will be

To unlock the front door I reach in the drawer

And pull out the only key

A walk beneath sunshine and concrete

A full heart and an empty mind

If someone asks I'm doing fine

I'm singing now

I'm lost and I don't need finding

I know but I need reminding

Flesh and blood is nature only

You haven't yet but you'll see my best

I don't want to die only to take a rest

I'd rather be alone than lonely
