Harsh words and endless laughter
Silence deepens the earth below
As I awake once again
As I awake once more
The world awakens teaming with something barely called life
The world grows cold as whispers can be heard inside

I don’t mean to be rude

I know it sounds selfish

But I don’t like it one bit

Why are you always so loud?

Why are you so quiet?
I just want to be alone

Don’t leave me out here

Are you mad at me?
Was it something I did?
Was it something I said?

Please go back to sleep...

Just get out of bed....
....So I don’t feel alone

....So I can finally get peace

I’m sorry I upset you

I don’t care if you leave

I just want some solace
A small moment
Just some peace of mind
Can’t you at least give me that?

Oh, look at the time
Thank God
Sweet relief
My shift’s finally over
I can finally sleep
