IN THIS BED ALONE

from UNICORN VOMIT by The IZM.

about

Literally written early one Saturday morning during the dark depression I was in. It was during the aftermath of ending a situation with someone I thought I saw a future with. I woke up, had a beer and started making this beat. I paced around my apartment like I was looking for something but I was waiting for something to hit me. And it did. That I was finally free of him but I wasn't free of the way he made me feel. Sleep was my only moment of peace.

lyrics

No alarm clock
no wake up sex
no rushing to shower and iron
no braving a cold world seemingly unafraid and un-phased
just waking up in this bed alone
flip the pillow over to feel the cool side
hoping to hop back into the dream I just rudely interrupted
I now become aware of the emptiness of my reality
and all I want to do is go back to sleep
hoping to hop back into the dream I so rudely interrupted
but I can’t
and I begin to recount all my lovers lost
and feel like every loss returned a minute gain
but enough pain to make any man implode
I wish there were a cheat code for life
maybe a lot of us could’ve saved ourselves ten times over
been someone different
someone happier
someone more intimate
someone more approachable
I get out of bed and walk through my empty apartment
which was once a dungeon of war and broken spirits
hoping one day
when I wake up in this bed alone
I can hop back into that dream I interrupted
