[lzt]

when you wake up in a chair at the dead of dawn
with the cat outside scratching in,
and you fake such conviction at the dead of dawn
with the clock outside on the lawn
when you make up excuses on the regular
and the facts besides whatever was,
the sun rose.

when you wake up in a chair on the lawn
As a regular act with the dead of dawn,
And you listen to the cat scratch the glass outside
And chalk it up late as cake walks lost
And forgotten in the dead of dawn,
Is when you've forgone excuses and
The sun rose.
