Down in the Morning We Thought We'd Never Lose

Down in the morning we thought we'd never lose
 I saw everything
 It startled me
 I briefly knew what you were gonna do
 I sprinted that night all the way to the bar
 'Cause I smelled danger all around our little star
 The galaxy
 Was blacker than the one I thought we knew
 At the jukebox I stared across
 At the display
 You were putting on
 I thought I'd gone to hell that day
 Who were you when you were laughing
 In that horrid way?
 Next to him
 What made it dim, our special day?
 When we were
 Down in the morning we thought we'd never lose
 Drowned in your fried eggs
 Half-asleep
 I'd sweep the glory of your unshaved legs
 I wonder where the moments go when they die?
 The quotient's too imbalanced to ever truly fly
 And that is why
 They eventually just settle down to dregs
 But on that day
 The squirrel dragged its way across
 The bike trail where we did fail
 To save its loss
 Maimed and lame is what we became
 In the coin toss
 All the same, nobody came
 To claim the dross
 It's piling
 Down in the morning we thought we'd never lose
 Where I'm still sleeping in
 It's a lazy sin
 Please don't wake me when you go to work
 When I came to
 The thought of you
 Fiercely pierced my
 Bothered skin
 Grandfathered in
 To fence the present tense
 Inside a murk
 I can't bear to think of where
 The moments go
 The underwear peels and reveals
 A layer so slow
 Do I dare to think of there
 That others now know?
 The pubic hair and cubic square
 Of every strand of banded glow
 Down in the morning we thought we'd never lose
 On your sister's pull-out couch
 Where you heard me vouch
 For the existence of what's inside
 It was true
 Until it died
 But what killed it?
 You willed it
 And I woke up
