Night

Night works, no charms
Sitting pretty with a needle in your arm
Headlight, halo
Lost your dad and now you’re never coming home
Skin wrecked, new marks
Ashes burning through your fingers in the dark
Mind wiped, sky bone
At the party but you’d rather be alone
Go wait in the car
Asleep by the bar
Wake and you don’t know where you are
Stumble but you don’t know how far
Waiting for your brother to call
Acting like it’s somebody’s fault
Fall so far they send out alarms
They won’t even look for you
