A 4am lament

"A 4am lament" is a song (written at around 4am) about how pain is supposed to subside over time, but perhaps it doesn't and you just kinda get used to it. LorD and Master wrote this for the album Dialogue.

Lyrics

Staring at a TV that isn’t on
Wondering where you’ve gone
My tea went cold so long ago
I can’t believe how I could be so wrong

I close my eyes to try to sleep
But then the tears come and I weep
Time goes at a glacial pace
Perhaps sanity is not mine to keep

It’s a 4am lament
I don’t know what my mother meant
When she said that
Time heals all wounds

The clock is ticking on its way
Will I still be like this at the break of day
I wish I could talk to you
But then, I wouldn’t know what to say

It’s a 4am lament
I don’t know what my mother meant
When she said that
Time heals all wounds
