Paper Cloud

Human, made of blood Often imbued with lust Human, snacking on love You cannot wait for this to be done A kid, pushing away On the inside she's yearning all day And everyone, everyone is leaving town They are eye to eye He is not surprised She lives, she lives and thrives Off the longings in her head Now they sit so still Not a word is shrill There's a revolution in their beds In their heads You're floating now, but it's a slippery slope You can't see it now, but it's barely a rope Holding you up, dear You better not forget to fear It's a paper cloud, and your sounds are loud But you're silent on the outside When there's nothing to hide It's tremendously wide And we will shove it into our bedrooms Until we need to sleep Six months deep It's a bad dream Such a bad dream It came, by snow and rain But soon enough it was spring again Yet something, something, has changed And the view from here is poisoned The earth is pulled away Left with nothing to say They let it go on for a little while But the sounds are getting bitter Wither Where do I fit if not in the air Unsatisfied, you stare While I count how many looks you take If you didn't notice, we are on the ground Don't you remember when you and I found The paint chipping, and everything was gray But not as sad as today You're floating now, but it's a slippery slope You can't see it now, but it's barely a rope Holding you up, dear You best not forget to fear It's a paper cloud, and your sounds are loud But you're silent on the outside When there's nothing to hide It's tremendously wide And we will shove it into our bedrooms Six months deep It's a bad dream Such a bad dream
