Sentient - Red Sky At Morning

Define the night
Where'd it begin and
Where will it end

Present the light
Is it pretend and
Should I defend it

Said I'd persist and
You know that I did
But you resisted
Irreparable drift

You said it consistent
It's too late to change
But I wanted to try
You didn't have to die

That one early morning
I decided the truth
I wouldn't give up on you
Together we could pull through

So I went to the streets
The spot I knew where you slept but
No one was around
So I tried my next bet

Went to the off ramp
Where I knew that you begged
Told the others your name
Said up the street just a bit

I found you and our dog
We hugged and you said hold up
You were begging for change
And still did not have enough

A couple more handouts
Then you gathered your stuff
We went back to your spot
Behind a target car lot

I showed you my new songs
And then I read you the words
I said I needed you back
It's time to come back to Earth

You cried as you told me you could not
Be more proud
That it'd be difficult
But different this time around

We faced the world
But it wasn't enough
For you to put all your trust
In love
And I believe
You could've still woken up
But you were never the type to grow up

And I'm so angry that you're not here
Just to pick up the phone
So I could chew off your ear
I can't believe
That my best friend is gone
Over something so stupid as peers

Why'd you leave
Why didn't you stay here with me

Define the night
Where'd it begin and
Where will it end

Present the light
Is it pretend and
Should I defend it

Said I'd persist and
You know that I did
But you resisted
Irreparable drift

You said it consistent
It's too late to change
But I wanted to try
You didn't have to die
