Hello, Sunshine

It's 1am, the heat from the asphalt still hasn't let go of me
Saving time on going to sleep, sucking down smoke on repeat

It's 3am, and I'm cursing the streets
for letting me fail so easily
Spit me out, or savour me.
It's in my blood to live so carelessly

It's 5am, the sun's peeking out. Daylight continues to haunt me
Should I try to find the humour and in such poetic tragedy
Oh, it's the burn that keeps me awake at night

It's 8am, and the heat from the asphalt
tears away at my skin
What a time to be alive,
A kiss from the sunshine keeps me in
