Kwamie LIV - 5 am [DECOUVERTE du jour]

  it's 5 am.

you're sitting at the hotel, looking at your mermaid friend.
so many people forgot who you were,
now they're calling you up again.

it's 5 am
she moves a little closer to you.
you're in past your knees,
she taps you on your chin,
the sea is full of sharks
now can you swim?

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
this city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between church and pray
never let them tell you, you can't go your way

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
this city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between do and say

falling,
darling
hold on to,

it's 7.02
you're sitting at the diner, mumbling to the girl in blue.
she pours you a drink,
the table starts to sink,
you hang on but you're falling through.

it's 7.02

somewhere in the rubble there's a flame
somewhere in the dark is your past
telling you to never look back.
