[ Featuring Alex Sopp ]
I'm fine
He said I had a silly little emergency
Implied I might just need some time out of town
""Sunshine, it's only just the lightest shade of anxiety,"" he sighed
""It's not like you're the type to break down""
Had to comply, let well-wishers be
Knowing that I only will fix me
I'll find out why it is she secretly watching me
I tried
To warn him but I'm always just so misunderstood
Glass-eyed, as though there's something ""other"" to me
My guide is hiding in this seasick swirling and so I stood
Bedside until it had me feeling creepy
Night after night, I suppose
Cfter midnight, patterns unfroze
Comforting fright, vertigoes, when she goes
Fixated eyes, yellow gown
Sickly moonrise, smoldering frown
She's in disguise, creeping round
Upside-down
I cried
Imagined how a chamber looks from the other side of bars
C bride, a canopy, a tired nightgown
Cbide the self-important ostentatious aroma of cigars
Inside, two tablets and a bed they nailed down
She spies, whispering replies
To my cries
Cs night falls, clawing at walls, she crawls
Fixated eyes, yellow gown
Sickly moonrise, smoldering frown
She's in disguise, creeping round
Upside down, round and round
You told us lies, oh no no no no
She is too wise not to know!
She hears my cries, weeping
""Let me go""
How could you?
Eyes dried
The picture of a righteous creature ecstatic to be free
My pride is back together and my mind sound
Deride a remedy they merely cooked up for pacifying me
Outside, he's struggling to break the door down
Oh she cries, and I
Whisper replies
Night falls, clawing at walls, I crawl
Fixated eyes, yellowed gown
Sickly moonrise, smoldering frown
I'm in disguise, creeping
Round and round, upside down
You told me lies, oh no no no no
I am too wise not to know!
I hear your cries, reaping
What you sow
