Sometime Around 3

I wish there was a way
I wish I could suggest
A place for you to stay
A place where you could rest

A place to bring your wife
Where your children could stay too
A place to stay forever
We both know the answer's never

There is no point in trying
We all know we all are lying
We all know that time is short
and that soon we will be dying

[bridge]
We have no way to leave
And we know that we can't stay
It seems that we are stuck
I guess it's just our luck

[instrumental]

This world is out of room
Lots of space now on the moon
We can't afford the rent
All our money has been spent

Day by day we have less food
Day by day a little sicker
I think I know a way
To make all this a little quicker

Every night a little closer
Every day I push on through
But next morning around three
It might be the end of me

[bridge]
We have no way to leave
And we know that we can't stay
It seems that we are stuck
I guess it's just our luck

[instrumental]

There is no point in trying
We all know we all are lying
We all know that time is short
and that soon we will be dying

We have no way to leave
And we know that we can't stay
It seems that we are stuck
I guess it's just our luck

Next Morning Around 3

"The only thing that separates our lips? An impending surge of confidence... if I could just be Brave"

Brave

Finally, as promised long ago, a Night Vale song! This one is for Carlos the Scientist, back when he was still stuck in that desert otherworld.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Home Pt. 2...

As I wander through this strange world
with these bright skies and these red lights
I just wonder how you all are
all the way back home.
 
Is it sunny? Is your cold gone?
Did I leave the kitchen stove on?
Are you happy? Do you miss me?
How are you getting by alone?
 
Well I’m alright, I’m fine.
I guess I’m meant to roam.
To never settle down somewhere,
to never have a home.
 
And I don’t know where your town is
and I don’t know how I came
I just know that once I got there
my entire life had changed.
 
It’s not what I was expecting
it’s not what I thought I wanted
but these moments I’ve collected
are the times I’d never trade.
 
And they’re all in my mind
These memories you’ve sown
like when I asked and you agreed
that we could start a home
 
I guess I was delusional or otherwise just juvenile
to think that just by wishing I could change the facts
but I’m a scientist and none of this can alter the hypothesis
that I don’t belong anywhere, in fact
 
I’ve been thinking for some time now
maybe this was meant to be
maybe I’m meant to get stuck here
and you’re meant to be here with me
 
But sometimes I close my eyes and
I see nothing but the strange land
where I found friends, love, and purpose
and for once I was not alone.
 
When those doors shut, then I realized
that no matter how hard I tried
I could never be a part of
that place that I called home.
 
But that’s alright, it’s fine
‘cause thanks to you I’ve known
what it feels like to live somewhere
what it feels like to love someone
to truly have a home.
