Are you awake yet? Cause if there's a part of you that's working There's a part of you that hasn't sobered up In someone's living room I only heard the coffee maker Someone's car starting out there on the lawn We haven't seen the sunrise in 27 years We've been waiting cornered like we're animals In abandoned living rooms We don't know what we can have And what is saved for someone else that has a key Are you asleep yet? You can tell my ears aren't learning All the quiet names made up to make us laugh Find a sound apartment With enough outlets for all of us Where we won't wake up your kid or pants are dead This isn't eating We count dollar menu hunger As something that isn't cold that we can eat We aren't broke yet But have to find a space between our bodies Find our minds and walk it off the street We're building our own casket Bones all fall apart Tires are tracking on your bed Can't go home long enough Can I come home yet? The jokes are only jokes And every liar wants his all set up new eyes Can I just leave again? I kept my promises and all I did Was read about the end of it on the news
