day old coffee and cigarettes.

I can smell yesterday on your breath,
Day old coffee and cigarettes.
Your grey eyes are raw from another restless, sleepless night.

Your smile is stained with apathy,
Hands, calloused and shivering.
I hold you in my arms and tell you everything will be alright.

I know you're tired but you cant sleep.
I know you're broken but you don't weep.
An unwelcome pain has grown accustomed to your bones.

Can you hear me through the haze?
Don't you dare pull away.
Nobody should ever walk alone.

I know your shit got tough,
But we're all a little fucked up.
We've been tainted but at least we're alive.

You're drowning in this organic flood.
Choking on life's flesh, bones, blood.
You have to breathe, you have to fight, you have to rise.

I know you're tired but you cant sleep
I know you're broken but you don't weep.
An unwelcome pain has grown accustomed to your bones.

Can you hear me through the haze?
Don't you dare pull away.
Nobody should ever walk alone.
