lyrics

there was smoke from the chimney 
there was a vision in the rain
childhood’s brown eyes
never lit up quite the same
the phone is out but off 
no one's gonna call anyways
It’s 5AM and rising 
sun's gonna burn out my brains 

spend my time in the 4 walls
paced a track around the room
bargained with the wrong facts
picked at old wounds
drank what I could find
mixing cocktails and wine
it’s 5AM and rising 
hallelujah, I’m finally out of my mind 

we can convince ourselves of anything
and no one will tell you wrong
the man you marry 
may be a stranger all along
and no matter what you claim
everyone plays a game
it’s 5AM and rising
and there’s no one else to blame 

when I was a boy
I lived inside my mind
I didn’t need no magic
I didn’t yet feel time
then one day I looked back
another year had gone by
It’s 5AM and rising 
and today starts the rest of my life
it’s 5AM and rising 
today starts the rest of my life
it’s 5AM and rising
and the sun looks divine.
