Poised, ready to fall on the concrete curb
Yellow meets gray meets forever down the road
Pull your collar up
Pull it closer to your cheek
You can hide inside
It's warmer in the entryway
An empty white room to go with your empty white face 
You've surrounded yourself with your need to be alone

You're perfecting the art of apathy
his robot still wants to bleed
We're not even halfway home tonight
Leaning up against the corner
You start to wonder if you're unhappy or just bored

Running drunken through the streets
Shouts from windows
Smile and wink
At little ladies from behind tattered blinds
A leaf picked from a weary and unsuspecting tree
Folded neatly between the pages of a sophomore journal
Serves as testament to this night

So stay out here in the cold with me
Did Aaron finally find his keys 
I'm tired of waiting 
Of dealing in fractions
The long walk home doesn't seem so impossible 
As the minutes melt away 
They drip like wax from roofs 
They bless the ground and collect in pools
Forceful footsteps from a floor below
Youth has come to claim this home

Shouts across the room come through 
The cracks of my floor like flowers bloom
Affected force and pretentious threats
She's curled up on the couch wrapped 
In her favorite blanket
The fabric pulled up to her rosy cheek 

Running drunken through the streets
Shouts from windows
Smile and wink
At little ladies from behind tattered blinds
A leaf picked from a weary and unsuspecting tree
Folded neatly between the pages of a sophomore journal
Serves as testament to this night

Eight rooms, connected
The moon 
Creeps into the frame of my window
A few days 
Short of full
Stomps on the stair step 
Stop outside
I could feign sleep
If the lights were off
Too late now
The rays of light have already climbed atop my face
We'll deal the best we can
