I was up at 2 AM
Listening to Conan Gray songs
Wondering why my life was like
Every single one of them

When every song ended
I felt hopeless

I stayed up until 4 AM
Picturing disaster after disaster and chilling summers
Wondering why I was like
That when I could’ve just loved them

All those past people who promised
Me tiny fragments of happiness

I woke up at 2 PM
After being chased by a group of zombies
Wondering what that dream meant
If Iwas running from me or them

They say the universe
I just need to listen sometimes
