Rumpled bed
Waiting in the room
Cross the threshold
[Hands reaching out]
Five steps from the door
[Five times struck to the ground]
[Sharp fragmented visions]
Crawl under the duvet
[Turn around
We're waiting]
Don't close your eyes
Turn off the light
It wouldn't help anyway in a little while
Need to sleep
Wait for gravity to do its job on my eyelids
The room is not empty
Malice cold against my spine
Hunger scratching against my skin
Smile splitting my brain
Breath on my feet
I can't speak or move
They smile the smile
As the world turns grey
Gravity's heavy hand does its job at last
Kind unconsciousness
Come dream, come fairy land, come dawn
...
Used to be that morning
was the safe time
Used to be that daylight
had the space for expanding lungs
Now, like starched shadows
They stand always in my peripheral vision
That shifting limbo
I break slowly
My heart lives at a hundred miles per hour
Poor rabbit heart
Running itself to death
Waiting in the room
Cross the threshold
[Hands reaching out]
Five steps from the door
[Five times struck to the ground]
[Sharp fragmented visions]
Crawl under the duvet
[Turn around
We're waiting]
Don't close your eyes
Turn off the light
It wouldn't help anyway in a little while
Need to sleep
Wait for gravity to do its job on my eyelids
The room is not empty
Malice cold against my spine
Hunger scratching against my skin
Smile splitting my brain
Breath on my feet
I can't speak or move
They smile the smile
As the world turns grey
Gravity's heavy hand does its job at last
Kind unconsciousness
Come dream, come fairy land, come dawn
...
Used to be that morning
was the safe time
Used to be that daylight
had the space for expanding lungs
Now, like starched shadows
They stand always in my peripheral vision
That shifting limbo
I break slowly
My heart lives at a hundred miles per hour
Poor rabbit heart
Running itself to death
