Outside pacing, gray sky chasing
All black from the head down
"Can I get a light" she said
Inside, no timeline, no salt, no lime
Throw it back, another time
"I guess nothing's alright" she said
Zoned out, blue light, in bed, blue eyes
Covered cough and a long sigh
"This might take awhile" she said
Impatient waiting, Butane fading
Throw it out, another time
"At this point its all white noise" she said
Now you're hanging by a thread
How much do you have left to pursue
I'm not new to this she said
Give a little credit where it's due
Out so late we lost our voice
Handle this with grace, cause we never even had a choice
