lyrics

for forty fucking minutes, I waited for that call
but the phone was off the hook and I was all alone.
I listened to the silence, the darkness made me sick
so you filled the room with light and that was the worst of it.

I sat and contemplated, I tried to get to sleep,
but the darkness was too thick and the air was much too deep.
I reached out for a lightswitch but the wall was out of reach
so I sat there in the dark, too alone to fall asleep.

for three more fucking hours I tried to fall asleep
but the silence screamed in my ears and the darkness punctured me.
and as the air escaped from my lungs, the deafness heard a screech,
I felt so scared and all alone
and that was not about to change.

the massacre went on for hours, all my senses felt so numb
a war had been waged in my brain and all the bombs had cooked me dumb
until you arrived in my warzone and filled the darkest air with light
you had risen up the sun and brought an end to the long night
