Morning Call (1/13/2008)

She tries to sleep beneath a thousand wicked dreams
Memories are at her door and no one hears her scream
She wonders what it means and if it’s what it seems
She prays it goes away, but does she hate what she has seen?
Cause she’s cracking at the seams, please just go away
She begs the world to leave her so she can cry and pray
Will she be fine one day or must love and pride all fade?
Are there any answers out there for the pain inside today?
Cause the hate inside her veins is corroding at her soul
She can not close the door and she can not gain control
And she’s falling in a hole as she’s dragged back in this time
Recollecting every thought that’s ever made her cry
And all she’ll say is “Why?” as these tears fall from inside
What happened to the hope she had? What happened to her life?
Sleep is such a scary thought, sleep will make her die
And sleep will never come to her nor ever make her right

He holds the phone pressed to his ear and listening with passion
Unable to resolve the pain, so helpless through inaction
There’s never satisfaction in the pain inside a heart
But the agony is greater when it’s love and they’re apart
And now every word he starts, she just pushes to the side
Determined to be stronger now, but he’s so weak inside
He’d scream if he could try, but he needs to keep composure
Cause all he has are words, he’s too far away to hold her
But he hopes what he had told her, the words that she rejected
Will permeate a little bit and help her stay protected
He feels so damn dejected, though, cause nothing’s going right
He only wants to lay with her and help to make her right
But she fell too late tonight and he’s running out of time
Life is catching up to him and burns at him inside
He needs to say goodbye as she falls back to her dreams
He wishes he could fall with her, he prays that it can be
