Restless Dark

It's okay in the day I'm staying busy

Got so sick of crying, so just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house, at least I'm not drinking
Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking

That silent sense of content that everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

If I was my heart, I'd rather be restless
The second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless
This ache in my chest, as my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now

- Amy Winehouse, "Wake Up Alone"
