I awoke early
There’s a faint glimmer of light
On the room's window
This day like most days
Slaps me hard around the face
So I am still here
Death is impartial
His absence means I get up
Rather than sleep on
It has been raining
Someone’s been crying for me
Well that’s a comfort
I really love life
Which seems is my fatal flaw
She will flirt with me
