Better Days

Holding on
Waiting for the sun to shine
And the feeling is strong
I’ll never see the day
Memories
Fall apart I can’t make out
Try to build them again
Try to make them work
Watching you sleep
The waves of the sea
Are crashing on me
Will there be better days to get through ?
Please, can I sleep forever now ?
Just a child
Dreaming of the life she’ll lead
Looking up to her mum
Crying I won’t go home
Arms are bruised
Sunlight on the bedroom wall
“no, i’m not coming out
I’m never coming out”
Don’t lecture me
The anger you see
Is yours to believe
Will there be better days to get through ?
Please can I sleep forever now ?
