Deer In The Headlights

I waited for the morning
But the rain clouds showed,
A deer in the headlights,
On the side of the road

Relentless flies buzzing around,
As I breathe air's stenches in,
Sunshine can't make it through,
Past these grey misty winds,
Stuck on this endless highway,
In a city where I lost my mind,
Since I had reeled and gambled,
It seems like the longest time

I waited for the morning
But the rain clouds showed,
A deer in the headlights,
On the side of the road

Cars passed by like I was home,
Staring blankly into the rain,
Can't see past fog that won't lift,
Rainy curtains over window panes,
I can see only weeds to my sides,
A dirt road traveled under my feet,
Don't know what I'll see when rains clear,
But I feel nothing growing underneath

I waited for the morning
But the rain clouds showed,
A deer in the headlights,
On the side of the road
