Alone

Wide awake like snakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had a woman long as he can remember
He is to forget but he can’t, he can’t
Out of bed having dreams in the shower
She’s standing naked, he’s apologizing
Reaches for her and the water turns red, God
Woken up to be burned, burned again
Go it alone, you got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can’t take it any other way
On the streets he’s walking wounded
Having nothing he tries nothing to say
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Go it alone, you got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can’t take it for another day
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Seems to forget but he can’t, he can’t
