The Heat

The summer came quick
And hit like a brick
I couldn’t move
Without feeling sick

I tried to think
But the heat was too thick
I stayed up all night
’Til the clock turned six

Just paralyzed
Paralyzed

There’s a dent in the bed
In the place where you slept
It’s the only thing left
Of yours that I kept

A shallow reminder
I was out of my depth
While you never looked
I never leapt

I was paralyzed
Always paralyzed
