Somewhere in the clouds
The moon sang to me
I overheard it
Talking to the stars

I see
A house, my house
And You in the window
You take one look at me, a look of disgust
And walk away

The room shifts

I'm all alone now
Looking through the very window you stood at
Looking down at myself

Am I a hypocrite—
Am I a hypocrite for looking down at that same girl who stood there, in disgust

I'm not afraid of the monster under my bed
A room full of snakes
Or a gun to my head

What truly scares me is this nightmare
It's worse than I could've ever imagined
Your face
That stupid face you make when you act like you care

For I stand there shaking myself
Telling myself to wake up
Yet the only response I get
Is "But you're already awake..."
