Sweet berries stained your scarf Or is it something else That made it look so red? Your carefulness is neat And each flick of your wrist Approved and all correct There's ink spots on the sheet Can't help it anymore The cloudiness inside your head is gone The obvious escape Best done before the day of Perpetual regret Sometimes you're on your own The ashes are all gone And everything seems blown away too soon Say, did you fall asleep Or is it something else That made you seem so glad? With vacant stare you watch The people come and go The thinness of their threads The one you used to be Was brimming with ideas But now your cards are played You earned yourself a break The peacefulness of sleep A secret that you locked away so well Remember what they say When you're dimming down the day Lights out on your command Sometimes you're on your own The ashes are all gone And everything seems blown away too soon Say, did you fall asleep Or is it something else That made you seem so glad?
