Brilliance

If I wake up blind, with the sun in my eyes
Beating on my brow through the car window
If I close my eyes, will I miss pink skies being overcome by black clouds above
But I'm too scared to explain why only days ago, I'm sure I died
The brilliance of the rocks below
I'm in control, at the edge, on my own
Arguments and solace from the book inside the dresser drawer
Curled up on the bathroom floor and Billie's on the radio
If Lady Day could only know how she's saving me now
And I will fly away in time
And I will learn to forgive myself
