Clock says three, eyes wide open Body's tired but the brain won't slow it Running lists that don't have endings Answering needs I was never asked to carry There's a light on in every room Someone left it on and walked away I move through it, turning them off one by one I'm the last thing standing at the end of every day And there's nobody coming No cavalry Just the quiet And the quiet And the quiet That sounds like me I got hollow hours and a full to-do list A name everybody calls when everything goes missing I built myself into a floor Something everybody walks on and ignores I got hollow hours I got hollow hours There's a version of last year I can't remember sleeping through She had opinions, she had hunger She had something left to lose Now I make the coffee before the house wakes up I smile until it sticks I've gotten so good at disappearing I don't notice when I do it And there's nobody coming No cavalry Just the quiet And the quiet Swallowing me I got hollow hours and a full to-do list A name everybody calls when everything goes missing I built myself into a floor Something everybody walks on and ignores I got hollow hours I got hollow hours I don't need saving I don't need a speech Just one night where Nobody needs anything from me Not to be inspiring Not to be okay Not to be the answer At the end of someone's bad day I'm tired of being load-bearing Tired of the weight Tired of the smile I wear like a gate Still here Still running Still answering Still
