Lyrics
The light comes in the way it always does Indifferent to what the night contained I watched the dark do everything it could And morning showed up anyway, unchanged Outside the city's clearing its throat The way it does before it gets to work The phone is full of everything I missed And the day picks up exactly where it hurt I was looking for something In the hours that I kept Some turning of the corner Some permission to accept But the clock just hit its quota And the sun began to climb And the day resumed its sentence Right on time Dawn disappoints Not with fire and not with fury Dawn disappoints Like a verdict from an empty jury Nothing's changed — The chaos got its eight hours' rest Dawn disappoints The world is still the same kind of mess I've been up since the darkness was reliable Kept company with everything I couldn't shelve Now the mirror wants a word And the morning wants its pound of something I couldn't keep for myself Maybe the bar was just a waiting room Maybe the screen was just a way to stall Maybe I've been killing time between One ordinary morning and the fall Into the same familiar pattern Of the same recurring week But for a few hours in the middle I was only mine to keep Dawn disappoints Not with fire and not with fury Dawn disappoints Like a verdict from an empty jury Nothing's changed — The chaos got its eight hours' rest Dawn disappoints The world is still the same kind of mess I don't need the dawn to save me I let go of that a long time back I just wish it wasn't quite so punctual The way it takes the dark and won't give it back The night at least sat with me In whatever I was carrying The morning just expects you back in position Before you're ready Dawn disappoints The coffee's on, the mirror waits Dawn disappoints The city doesn't pause for what it takes I'll button up Step back out into the frame Dawn disappoints But I'll be here again Same bar Same feed Listening for the sound Of someone Almost Like me
