I press my palms against my eyes,
I count the seconds till the skies,
By noon I'm cool, I'm at my best,
At 3 AM I never rest.
At 3 AM I scroll my phone,
The room's a safe, half-lit zone,
I rewrite everything I've said,
I fix the lines inside my head.
At 9 AM I fix my face,
I walk the floors with easy grace,
I say 'I'm good' to everyone,
Then hide the parts I can't outrun.
I press my palms against my eyes,
I count the seconds till the skies,
By daylight I can act just fine,
I pull my trembling into line.
I press my palms against my eyes,
I count the seconds till the skies,
By noon I'm cool, I'm at my best,
At 3 AM I never rest.
