This Is Fact Not Fiction

Sleep has not been coming to him easy for what could be weeks now. His eye bags wore the color from his lack of sleep.

If only he had given her a reason to stay.

He picked up his mobile phone and keyed in the familiar numbers. A phone number he had dialed so many times before.

It was getting light as the night sky finally gave way to twilight.

A Lack Of Color

And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around
Turns you around

If you feel discouraged
When there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
Absorbing everything
The spectrum's A to Z

This is fact, not fiction
For the first time in years
And the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone

I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03
And on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay

This is fact, not fiction
For the first time in years
