4 O'Clock in the Morning

What happened? Nothing But ohhh It was something Because at 4 o'clock in the morning It was so much more than nothing Being awake at this hour Is not by accident And though usually not by choice Our mind wonders While we stare at the ceiling And say to ourselves "What the fuck am I doing up at 4 in the morning?" And when you get up out of bed for that cup of water You pass by the mirror and glance Then stop Then stare And see your flaws Covered by ignorance Covered by makeup Covered by your explanation of why you try so hard to be funny And it’s a funny thing about 4 o clock in the morning Its then that you realize you forgot to send your boss that memo Or make an important call to a business partner And you think "What am I doing up at 4 o'clock in the morning?" Because its 4 o'clock in the morning And your grandma’s birthday was yesterday Mothers day is tomorrow And today Well today you have a whole ton to do So you curse yourself Your brain And your body For being awake at 4 o'clock in the morning.
