Catherine Corelli Morning
MORNING
VERSE 1:
The void comes in the morning
As the cold light leaks through the window,
It creeps through the sheets that still hold the night
moaning,
Over your shoulders and down on my back…
It floats with the first drag I take
The bleak shivers bring me awake.
Motionless bodies are everywhere,
Sleeping and breathing they’re high and bare.
Yesterday’s leisure for heavens and pleasure
Today is just nothing and I feel the same
I don’t remember your name…
I will leave before you open your eyes.
VERSE 2:
The pain comes with the morning
As the cold light gets more and more boring.
The scratches, the bruises, the drinks and the juices
Cover my skin. The smoke’s getting thicker…
And every second the time
Stops, but I don’t feel sublime.
The mirrors show nothing save what I fear,
Reflections of me that won’t disappear…
Yesterday’s leisure for heavens and pleasure
Today is just nothing and I feel the same
I don’t remember your name…
I will leave before you open your eyes.
CODA:
I ran to somewhere,
And got to nowhere,
I have lost myself today.
With the morning
The void is coming,
You’re not what you were to me.
With the morning
The pain is coming,
I’m not what I used to be.
