Daylight & Dark

Daylight & Dark - Jason Eady

Well it's eight o'clock in the morning

And my head is screaming at me

And I try to turn it down but it won't go

My clothes they smell like habits

And my skin like yesterday

And I pray to god my state of mind don't show

So I step out of bed trying not to make a sound

So this stranger here beside me doesn't know

And there ain't no conversation between the daylight and the dark

It's a worn out situation when you don't know where you are

Well my phone won't stop ringing

Try to pull myself together

But I watch it on the table and let it go

I hear the normal people talking

Walking right outside my window

And I wonder what they know that I don't

Are they just surviving after all this time

And just going through the motions that I won't

And there ain't no conversation between the daylight and the dark

It's a worn out situation when you don't know where you are

And you can't quite find the middle but you're somewhere in between

And the hardest part of all is that you don't know what that means

Well I locked the door behind me

And I'm not sure where I'm going

But I need to get outside to clear my head

My hands are in my pocket

And my eyes are on the ground

And I'm trying hard to watch my every step

But one foot then the other

Then it's one look then another

Then I take all the attention I can get

And there ain't no conversation between the daylight and the dark

It's a worn out situation when you don't know where you are

And you can't quite find the middle but you're somewhere in between

And the hardest part of all is that you don't know what that means

Well it's eight o'clock in the morning

And my head is screaming at me

And I try to turn it down but it won't go
