Dirt in my bed

I cried all night to a stupid song

No tear ducts no eyes just my lingering breath

I kinda wonder what you said when you set yourself on fire

Are you still burning?

You kind of left me in my head

And everyone always says try hard for what you want

But never once have I tried and got what I want

Here your arms are my bed

This sofa is our casket

The moment I stopped caring the moment I didn't care for it anymore

Was when it came to me

Smiles from head to feet

And it asked

And it asked

Will you still take me?

Do you still want me?

And despite saying no

You're already at the door

So welcome to my funeral home

This is where dreams are dead

Oh and look there's my bed

You could rest there instead

And it asked

And it asked

Why are you burying me?

Why do you not want me?

And I wondered

And I wondered

Why did you come for me, after I stopped wanting you?

When I was done with the bones and the dirt

I went home

To the magazines and the sofa

To grab another can

Another beer in my hand

I'm not, but I am?Where stories live. Discover now
