In A Dark Room
In a dark room with two dogs lying at the foot of my bed
I would have sworn that two so different could never be twins
But, I was wrong
A brindle under-bite
A cotton-ball dripping from the eyes
And, me so lonely
Even in the company of my well acquainted, well rehearsed lies
A plane crashing down on my television
A click of the second hand of the clock on my wall
Oh, how the floor looks so empty
Now that I’m living on the ceiling
Saw her in a photograph before I found the courage to speak
Now she’s in front of me and my nerves have silenced the words from sounding
And, I am scared
Because I’m so in love
And, afraid of not having it returned
Just like a villain
Knowing all I’ll ever own are the same things I’m too afraid to earn for myself
Now my world’s upside down
Why’m I not falling
How’m I falling into the sky
And, where did the ground go
Oh, how the floor looks so empty
Now that I’m living on the ceiling I spent so long staring at
In a dark room
