Something snuck up on me when I had a stray thought or two about Rihanna’s “Stay” while I was writing lyrics to my last few songs. It’s not inspired by the tools under "The Muse" section of the February Album Writing Month site at fawm dot-org, but I’ll take it!

lyrics

I wake up in bed afraid and alone,
You still hovering, toxic as smoke
You leach through me, skin to bone,
like a punch line to some dirty joke

I wish I could be stately
about everything you made me face
I wish I could be reserved
about how you work my last nerve
I wish I could freeze and replace
warm blood you never deserved

We were as temporary as a tone
Liquor tasted too late not to choke
A love snatched like a BART phone
Lit like bedlam, blind and broke
