My hands REACH UP to heaven 
My feet keep the beat in hell 
My belly is still empty
If my heart is healing I can't tell
I wake up so easy
With nobody around 
It's hard to find a reason
I wish the sun would just stay down

I miss you in the morning
I miss you all the time
But the way your first smile at me
Felt Like your spirit rhymed w mine
hints and warnings in your voice 
An exploding sound from a bomb
Transformed all the noise 
Left Fighting against the dawn
There's so many open doors 
But I don't feel welcome to go through
anyway   I wasn't even invited 
would be a selfish thing to do
I miss you in the morning
I miss you all the time
I miss the way you smiled at me
Felt Like your spirit rhymed w mine
hints and warnings in your voice 
exploding sounds like a bomb
When we turned down all the noise 
Fighting against the dawn
If you could see me now
You wouldn't be impressed
I i could show you how
would you hurry up and get dressed
I still miss you every morning 
I guess thats for the best

Fighting Dawn/Miss You in the Morning

Fighting Against the Dawn (Miss You in the Morning)

AP Mercury, the songwriting alias of Andrew Pendleton, crafts ballads that explore life’s fleeting nature and overlooked characters. His songs weave tales of loss, love, solitude, and grief, while confronting humanity’s waste of paradise. Spanning alternative rock, indie folk, and alt-country, they echo the 20th-century American songbook with vivid lyrics and harmonies. AP’s music champions kindness and community, exposing the pain of betrayal and the hope for redemption. Some tracks embrace a darker edge, reflecting hidden struggles and a quiet rebellion against modern excess. Raw, emotional, and authentic, these unmastered recordings capture stories that demand a deep listen to uncover what’s right—and wrong—in today’s world.
