Time Out from Time Enough by terrapin

Woke up early, walked to school,
Played with dirt and got it in the pool,
Cried in the toilets, felt like a fool.

Sat alone in my maths class,
Looked out the window, I almost laughed,
At the nonsense in my head,
Wishing to god that I was dead.

And I’m always so tired,
Cos I never fall asleep,
As easily as I’d like to
I’m plagued by a memory,
Of you smiling as I’d cry,
Breaking me down more every time,
And I see your shadow in the doorway.

Got to face the truth today,
Got to play my own sad part,
In this fucked up ritual’s play.

I don’t need nobody’s love,
I’ve got Billy with me on the rug,
I’ve got shit to take care of,
Really wishing for a hug.

And I just need some time out,
To regather my thoughts and smile,
Even if it is just a disguise,
I’m sure it’ll hold them safely for a while.

And maybe I’ll never make my peace,
Or maybe there’ll be time enough.
I’m taking it day by day each week,
Learning to crawl before I run.
Before I run.
And I just need some time out.
