FRAGMENT 0385

The house is still
Too still for dawn
Your salt on the sheets
The phone turned off

My eyes are sand
My face is fire
I cried out loud
Till I got tired

Now the clock ticks soft
Like it's scared of me
I hold my breath
In the empty sea

After the cry
After the cry
I hear my name
In the quiet
After the cry
After the cry
I'm still alive
In the silent

The sink is cold
The glass half full
Your jacket hangs
Like it's somebody's fault

I wash my hands
But they still shake
I trace the edge
Of the daybreak

Now the clock ticks soft
Like it's scared of me
I hold my breath
In the empty sea

After the cry
After the cry
I hear my name
In the quiet
After the cry
After the cry
I'm still alive
In the silent

No more thunder
No more flood
Just my heartbeat
Under the mud

I let it pass
I let it go
A deep silence
Starts to grow

After the cry
After the cry
I hear my name
In the quiet
After the cry
After the cry
I'm still alive
In the silent
