Ten Hours

Someone told me I'd smile
Somehow I hid
Someone told them I was past that
A lie that stuck

I'm ten hours away
From where I was before
I'm ten hours wide
Awake and rotten to the core
I'm ten hours late
From where I might have been
I'm ten hours too far

Someone told me I'd smile
Somehow I did
Something told me it was denial
It was right

Someone gave me a drink
Out of sympathy
Someone told them I was past that
A lie that slippеd

I'm ten hours away
From where I was bеfore
I'm ten hours wide
Awake and rotten to the core
I'm ten hours late
From where I might have been
I'm ten hours too far
