Haze

Laying on my bed

I woke to the world in monochrome

Everything is covered in dust

Someone said the city was burning

And the smoke was covering the sky

I know should run, but I rather lay here

Still with no concern

The dust in the air causing my eye to water

I know I should be running

Today, apathy is my best friend

Slowly traveling from my toes to fingers

Lingering upon my lips

I don’t care for the tears or feel the joy of the laughter

Laying on my bed I will stay

Someone said the sky is falling

But in this haze how could we tell

Everyone is gathering their memories and folding them in back pocket

The world is in monochrome, and I really don’t know what to say

To the fact you are leaving me

Indifferent to the clicking of the door

Because I haven’t been able to see you for days

Sometimes I wish for clarity

It comes with thoughts of breathing without choking

On this coldness inside me, spreading

Until I am laying here

Laying on my bed

Watching the world fall apart

In smoke, ash, dust and grim

And I rather light a cigarette

Watch the whole show burn down around me

Monochrome is this world

Lost in the haze

Someday I will search for your shadow

But today, I just don’t care
