Half the Night

from Whispers by Elbury

/

about

Anxious and moody - the constant thud of sleep deprivation and the creeping in of paranoid thoughts.

lyrics

Half the night I shiver alone.
Await the day, creep in the eastern sky.
You ask why? Why so insecure?
Maybe i fear it more, behind locked doors
On second floors.

Over my shoulder I measure the morning
Open eyes, pick up a warning sign.
What do I do? Do you hear it too?
Or maybe I've dropped the ball, a phantom call,
Or nothing at all.

Maybe it’s a sign
Of something going wrong
I hum a nervous tune
To an empty room
Black will turn to grey
And another brittle day
Ooh-ooh conspires
To break me

Afternoon and the shadows long
Keep it quiet until another dawn breaks
And the dark is shattered.
Resign in time
Yourself to the daily grind
The ever- present fear.
