Why is the morning so dark? Wake up

Orange Line 03:01
with crimson swells the lips apart eyes in contact mouth of the heart looking back now through the plastic  and the metal words away from a world together see? and tonight the closeness will drive you mad with thoughts of times you'll never have missed connection missed connection

Sheila 02:36
there's no more youth left for us soon there's two kids and a house severed from the past we could have tried we should have tried we could have made it last oh the years there's been others nothing left from when we were younger

Deathly Ill 02:44
not deathly ill just out too late. i been round the way and back again but now that we've met these words are spilling out: if yer gone at the break of dawn i swear i'll come for you. now i believe in fate and i know that's what this is but why does the night go by in a blur? if yer gone at the break of dawn i swear i'll come for you you'll see my face till you get my name and i know you want it too   i been on your steps and i'm lurking at your door we had a night but you know i want more
7.
Two Blocks 03:14
on lost streets, barely dawn fully drunk on memories you break down and curse the wind that blew out your last match you're so close, it's two blocks she's there in bed two blocks there's visions now of tender flesh heavy sighs and violence you rest now to catch your breath curse this wind, it's bearing down you're so close, it's two blocks she's there in bed two blocks alone, the night has fucked your mind. two blocks....
8.
Both Coasts 03:08
lay your head down on my poor lap i'll tell you my thoughts on why we are so tired well i been to each coast... had my toes in them both... i looked for your face in the tides you were in their grace
9.
Tired Hearts 02:05
10.
January 03:08
well i know that i'll never be free because i worship the lovers i meet but when i offer to wash off their feet i do it to reclaim what i've seen and i've been to her room before made sure that she closed the door cause january has the coldest bedroom in new york well my heart has wandered the halls when every lover was just a wall but the dead ends were taking their toll they made me question why i look at all and i've thrown her shirt to the floor and had my hands down her pants before but january has the coldest bedroom in new york and every time i remember her name i think of that winter of shame cause january had the coldest bedroom in new york, the coldest bedroom in new york
11.
my desire for possession of beauty has led me here, i'm searching for real warmth and someone to move me and if absence yields longing, it's working at times i was wild with hunger a savage so determined to conquer a lioness, a beast in this jungle but the heart truly is a lonely hunter
12.
you can blame it on the winter you can blame it on the cold grey days but who are you kidding? you've never been happy anyways. don't think about the morning don't think about the past, it was a dream and tonight your only lover is tomorrow and what it will bring.
