Awake from Dead Garden by LaDean

I’m on the way, there’s rain on the roads and the lights are all sideways
You called my name, set caution aside as I looked to the highway
Words and haze, the hours grindpast as we sit in the driveway
“It’s nearly 8,” you said “go lay down, gonna play down the hallway..”

Awake!
A world apart, within a few feet
Drugs and guitars caught in between
I can’t see the stars, I should leave… I should leave…

In the dark, the notes all cry out as I play them the wrong way
Fingers numb, I slip out the door, face the lights on the highway
It’s getting late, the glass is pulling me down, as I pull in the driveway
Faked a smile, pretend I forgot that she lay down the hallway…

Awake!
A world apart, within a few feet
Drugs and guitars caught in between
I can’t see the stars, I should leave… I should leave…
