歌詞

I woke up

With yesterday still on me

Same blanket

Same bent neck

The glass by the bed

Kept its place

The phone stayed blank

Beside the charger

The chair held a shirt

From two days ago

The drawer stayed open

By a finger width

Nothing had moved

Except the hour

I did not get better

I just got morning

The room stayed ordinary

That made it harder

I was not ready

The day did not ask

I woke up

With yesterday still on me

The list stayed small

The room stayed plain

I did not get better

I just got morning

Same body

Same floor

Still Here in the Morning

The bag was lower

By the door

The strap had twisted

During the evening

The keys sat quiet

In the bowl

Like one job

Finally passed over

A plate waited

Near the sink

The counter had crumbs

I stepped around

One sock

Then another

I slept

But did not reset

I stopped

But did not return

The room kept count

In smaller ways

I woke up

With yesterday still on me

The list stayed small

The room stayed plain

I did not get better

I just got morning

Same body

Same floor

Still Here in the Morning

I wanted a clear line

Between one day

And the next

But the room

Does not work that way

A cup can stay out

A shirt can move

From floor

To chair

A phone can die

And still need charging

A body can sleep

And still wake up used

Nothing starts clean

Just because

The calendar turned

I stood by the sink

And turned the tap

The water ran cold

Then less cold

I washed my face

Without conviction

Looked at the towel

And used my sleeve

The mirror showed

A workable version

Not good

Not ruined

Just present enough

For another hour

I woke up

With yesterday still on me

The list stayed small

The room stayed plain

I did not get better

I just got morning

Same body

Same floor

Still Here in the Morning

I was not ready

The day did not ask

Still Here in the Morning

The glass stayed full

The phone stayed low

The bag stayed near

The door

I put one sock on

Then the other

Stood still

For a second

And let the room

Begin again
