(Through Hallways)

You took my eyes out to speak with me
And cut open my chest again
No, not the gurney

I want to know, I want to see that man bleeding from his hands
Towers above me, scream
Can you not, can you just not, oh, can you please just not hear me
Inflammation
Replace Omega 6 with some Omega 3’s
My dying dignity with vital circuitry
That lets the body disregard surroundings’ never-ending sound

Resounding ignorance fills these rooms
Air is replaced with tall tales, their shrinking potency
I felt as if I were a child that night I watched her dance
Sitting on your basement floor
Screaming I don’t want to go when the truth is that I want to know
If I could even handle it, finding myself screaming if only for a minute
Leave home

(Leave home, leave home, leave home)
