Car headlights dent my lungs

I can't tell if I hear a car alarm going off

Or if it's the various sounds in the current song

Nerves are crushed under the weight

Of my red cardigan that I wrap around myself

Winter weather disrupts my optimistic belief

That I will sleep peacefully through the night

An unfortunate habit Mother Nature and I developed

Midnight feels like it was days ago

I could've sworn last night went like this too

But it's more like the past week or so

The music switches to another party tune

As it hasn't picked up on the elephant in the room

The clock turns from 2:59am to 3:01am
