Crickets

Sitting up and it's quiet
except for crickets
I want to sleep but I'm afraid
except for crickets
Is tomorrow really there
except for crickets
I wake to losing breath
except for crickets
Sweating tired and stressed
except for crickets
Will I ever get a job
except for crickets
How will we ever pay our bills
except for crickets
Will my children grow to hate me
except for crickets
I feel I let everybody down
except for crickets
I pray to God and wait
except for crickets
I think I'll try to sleep now
except for crickets
It's really quiet now
except for crickets
