Until Dawn
I wake up with a smile
To light my whole day up
A new day for a new mile
To walk while the sun’s up
We laugh for a time
Until the sunlight’s gone
And midnight is nigh
Then I sleep till dawn
Time to make the sun go up
Time to watch some clouds
I’m awake when I walk out
Because it’s pouring down
I endure the humdrum
And emit a yawn
And watch as the stars come
Then I sleep till dawn
I feel the warmth from the sun
But I hear a storm brew
I walk out while I’m drugged up
And then I slave anew
We sigh till the last hour
And I laugh when I’m gone
To turn the whole night dour
Then I sleep till dawn
I watch the same sun rise
And lament the lost dawn
I depart with dead eyes
To a half dead world
Here I grit my teeth
Until the bells go off
And I down my feast
Then I sleep till dawn
I’m sick of the tone
Of the sun at dawn
I’m sick of walking alone
Among daylight’s spawn
I hear them all roar
About the high they’re on
So I just hit the floor
Then I sleep till dawn
All I see is sun
As I wake to the glow
I reach for a gun
But all I find is snow
I rise up to my knees
And I paint the walls
I smile when I bleed
Then I sleep till dawn
I wake up with a tear drop
To turn my whole day sour
I scream out and I don’t stop
Until the midnight hour
There’s no need to scream
While the sun is gone
So I prepare to repeat
And I sleep till dawn
