Time To Grieve

i need time to grieve before i stand
i need time to weep before i let go
they are curious about what it is that i grieve for
the lost moments we shared
and not the pain they have caused me
time runs fast
midnight comes after a slight second
i have to get some sleep
i got vocals to do in the morning
so i smoke some blunt
before i lay my head down
i think i've grieved enough
and i do deserve a good night sleep
