The night before, full of decisions
whiskey or wine, liquid provisions
Slept on your side, propped up and dropped out
Nothing to hide
This is your survival
Can’t even think about
tomorrow
Stumbling in to your brothers car
You slept the whole way with your sunglasses on
Aching and hungover
You opened the door and fell out on the lawn
You made your arrival
Don’t worry about tomorrow
Hugs from your mom and your gramma too
No words of the stains on your shirt or your shoes
Somehow they knew what you’d been through
Shaking of hands, slurring of greetings
red blood-shot eyes and memories fleeting
You could've hidden, made some excuses
but you weren’t afraid to parade your abuses
This is your survival
Don’t even think about tomorrow
This is your survival
Can’t even think about
tomorrow
