Sugar In A Bowl

I found a fire in your shadow

I know you are born to be wild

In your years you’ve been alone too

Hiding from the monsters in your head

Sugar in a bowl, on your coffee table

Animals that sleep on your dinning room floor, in your house

You are just waiting for time to pass by one second at a time

Freckles are gone and now your face is

Dry as the walls surrounding you

Coffee keeps you up for hours

TV    tucks you in at night

A picture on the wall, of a friend you used to know

The smell of the coffee sitting on the stove, all alone

You are just waiting for time to pass by one second at a time

Sugar in a bowl, on your coffee table

Animals that sleep on your dining room floor, in your house

You are just waiting for time to pass by one second at a time

At a time
