Monster Burger and a $5 Beer

Stay offline as I'm looking for some peace of mind
Take a drink and let my stomach settle
Just as it calms the phone starts to ring prompting me to unravel
Dim the lights just in case there's someone there outside
How much longer till we reach the sunrise
The moment that I've been left alone, everything's terrifying
As soon as you're gone
I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait
Until you come home
It's like the feelings elevated
When you're not around
The sameness
And repetition
Stay in
The pipes sound like a stranger to me
As I try to get some sleep
Little bird got torn up by a stray, all red tinted feathers and both broken wings
Mercy came in the heel of my boot,
Such terrible things that your kindness can do
Dedicated time for licking at your wounds can't undo the hurt when they open anew
Mercy hangs by the heel of a boot when being alone only darkens the view
It only comes when you're away
And when you're there it makes me brave
The clockwork steady in detail
Destroyed then just as quick rebuilt
The bird torn up
Shallow breath and in pain
The cat watching
Coming back as I leave
As soon as you're gone
I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait
Until you come home
Awake every day
Such a disheartening thing
I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait
Until you come home
It's always too long
As soon as you're gone,
I sit and I wait and I sit and I wait and I
Until you come home
